Who are we?
We are on a mission to make sex better for everybody. Bonded is a female-focused dating app designed to help people find long-term partners that they are both sexually and emotionally compatible with. We believe no woman should ever have to choose between good sex and a long-term relationship, so we’re bringing a new dating experience to life. We are working hard to create a safe and stigma-free environment where women can explore their sexualities, find long-term partners, and feel both safe and empowered in doing so.
Revolutionizing the dating experience is only the beginning. At Bonded, we’re building the future of intimacy and making sex better for everybody – from those in their first relationships, to newlyweds, to women going through menopause. We believe everyone deserves to have a great sex life, and we’re here to change intimacy for the better.
Our Founder & CEO, Catalina, is an ex-Cambridge, ex-Goldman, Stanford MBA with deep sector expertise and a passion for revolutionizing dating and sex. She is also a sex-educational content creator on TikTok, where she works hard to destigmatize conversations about sex and educate her community of nearly 80k followers.
