How we got started

Yo, I’m Bo! Founder of FIND — crafting modern in person dating events and fun friend socials so you can bring your social life, IRL.

I’ve been there, done that in the dating scene with navigating the dating apps > awkward first dates > farewells. I finally met my person (yes, from Hinge, shhhhh) but that came after many long hours of texting, thrilling and weird first dates, and deleting and redownloading dating apps 7-8 times.

During the summer of 2024, after deciding to make a career shift from co-owning a social media marketing agency for 4 years, I was doom scrolling Instagram and came across a video Pitch A Single Friend in Los Angeles.

I became obsessed with this concept, as I wanted to pitch my best friend on stage! I researched and asked around if anyone was doing this in Indy and alas, nothing. So DM the company asking them how I can bring this to my city, and ever since, they’ve been very important mentors throughout this journey. I wouldn’t be where I am today without their guidance.

As I dove deeper in the singles event research, so many fun and interesting singles experiences were being planned in big cities that I selfishly wanted to go to (bc they looked like fun) but being married, I could never go.

Curious to if there was demand for singles events in Indy, I organized the first modern speed dating event in September of 2024. We sold out well in advanced and I was so overwhelmed with joy with the smiles on people’s faces and the positive feedback.

After that event I decided to create a community for you to safely meet other singles in real life, and give you an alternative to the dating apps.

This job has been so fulfilling and I’m so grateful for all of the wonderful people I’ve met. I’ve gotten more involved in my community, made so many new friends, and can’t wait for the future of FIND!

Other fun facts about me…

I was adopted from China when I was one, grew up in Terre Haute and moved to Indianapolis in 2020. I live in Broad Ripple, love to meet new humans, travel the world, keep my plants alive, and collect tiny things.
