Superdate is a dating app that will pay its users in cryptocurrency to engage and go on dates. The company has announced an ICO for SuperdateCoin.
Steve Perry is the founder and CEO of Superdate. He explains that SuperdateCoin will help put a higher premium on social interaction. A trend that has been getting worse and worse is the inability of people who match to move from an online connection to an in-person connection. Perry believes that the trading of SuperdateCoin will help combat that.
Perry knew that if he wanted to enter the online dating space, he had to be different. That's why users on Superdate match based off of common activities and interests.
Tech apprenticeship platform Multiverse became a unicorn with a $1.7 billion valuation, after raising $220 million in a Series D round. As companies across the country face challenges in hiring and retaining tech talent, Multiverse says it's trying to offer a solution with a new way to train and hire workers that can serve as an alternative to college and corporate training. Sophie Ruddock, VP and GM North America of Multiverse, joins Cheddar News' Closing Bell to discuss.
Cheddar's Kristen Scholer caught up with all-time NBA great Shaquille O'Neal in his hometown of Newark, NJ, working with Icy Hot to repair rundown basketball courts around the country. The Hall of Famer also spoke about the current NBA finals between the Boston Celtics and Golden State Warriors and had a lot of praise for the Warrior's guard Stephen Curry. "He's the greatest shooter of all time. I had a conversation with Stephen A. [Smith], where does he rank? He's a special player. He has his own category," Shaq said.
