Eight, a Portuguese video-first dating app, is raising a €3 million seed round, having already secured €256,600. The app, available in Portugal and the UK, operates on a unique model where users connect through 30-second video introductions and live calls, eliminating photo profiles and text exchanges. The app aims to address issues like fake profiles and ghosting through human verification. Eight plans to use the seed funding to expand into Eastern Europe and the United States, entering a global dating app market valued at $6.18 billion in 2024.
