This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Julie Griggs and Danielle Dietzek, founders of the social dating app Fourplay. Griggs, a former physician assistant, and Dietzek, a former nurse, started the app with no tech experience in 2019 and left their jobs to manage the startup full time in 2022. The essay has been edited for length and clarity.
