Wyzr: The Leading Activity and Health & Wellness-Based Friendship App Leads the Shift Away from High-Pressure Dating Apps

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Wyzr, the leading activity and health & wellness-based friendship app for singles and couples, celebrates a highly successful beta-testing phase with over 250,000 friendship connections. Wyzr officially launches this week in celebration of National New Friends Day on October 19.

Wyzr also announces its inclusion in the AgeTech Collaborative™ from AARP accelerator program, where it will receive the tools to help bring Wyzr to people 50+.

"We're thrilled to be a part of the AgeTech Collaborative from AARP accelerator," said Joy Teitel, co-founder of Wyzr. "We've created a smarter, safer app where singles and couples can find friends and activity partners to facilitate social connection, which improves physical and mental health. Wyzr's proprietary friendship matching algorithm optimizes connections by intelligently pairing people based on shared interests, and health & wellness goals, among other factors."

Carolyn Kelly, co-founder, added, "People are exhausted from the pressure and the constant push for romance. Wyzr is different. We are focused on building real friendships for adults without the stress. Our activity-based approach makes connecting easy and natural, and our market is significantly larger than dating apps. After the isolation of the pandemic and return to on-site work, people are craving genuine, pressure-free connection, and Wyzr offers exactly that."
