About
Connection, with a little structure.
YouMe started during the pandemic as Zumidate.com: something playful for people to do together on virtual dates. When virtual dating cooled down, the bigger need stayed the same. People still wanted better ways to connect.
Product and engineering
Ed Anghelescu
The builder behind Zumidate who partnered with Jena to rebrand, rethink the format, and turn the idea into YouMe.
From Zumidate to YouMe
The next chapter began when Jena Ruby, a marketing specialist and singles-event host in Calgary, needed a better way to help attendees mingle and form real connections at live events. She partnered with Eduard Anghelescu from Zumidate, and together they rebranded and built something new.
Original
YouMe Original is the B2C date-night version: a private game for two people who want to get to know each other better. The date progresses through guided prompts that make you laugh, get a little vulnerable, and discover who you are together.
Games keep it light
Between the deeper questions, co-op mini games give you something fun to solve side by side. They keep the experience playful without losing the point: helping two people feel more connected.
