The Ripple Story

Ripple was born from the idea that shared experiences create the strongest connections. For those who grew up in foster care, never knew their parents, or navigated life as refugees, dating can feel isolating—like others just don’t understand the weight of their journey. We saw the need for a space where people with unconventional upbringings could find understanding, empathy, and real connections. Ripple isn’t just another dating app; it’s a community where shared pasts create meaningful futures.

Our mission is simple: to bring together those who have faced life’s toughest challenges and offer them a space where they can be seen, heard, and loved. Whether you’re looking for romance, companionship, or someone who truly gets where you’ve been, Ripple is here to help you find it. Because love isn’t just about where you come from—it’s about where you’re going, together.
