Dating got disconnected.
We're putting people back in the room.

Avana is the first live-video dating app — built in Nashville, Tennessee, for a generation that's tired of swiping into the void.

Why we built Avana.

We grew up on dating apps. We watched them turn from places where people met into places where people scrolled. The average user spends hours swiping, sends opener after opener, and ends up on calls and dates that feel nothing like the profile.

So we built something different. One photo. One chance. Real video — face-to-face, in real time. Tone, laughter, body language: the things that actually tell you whether you click. Back where they belong.

If the energy's there, you'll feel it in 30 seconds. If it's not, you both move on. No ghosting. No texting marathons. No catfishing. Just the part of dating that always mattered.

What we stand for.

— 01

Energy over algorithms.

Chemistry doesn't fit in a profile. We built Avana around the moments people actually fall for each other — not the data they generate.

— 02

Safety, by design.

Two-way live verification. Zero catfishing. Call recording for safety only. We don't compromise on who shows up — or how they're protected when they do.

— 03

Speed with intention.

Avana is fast — but never careless. The 24-hour clock isn't pressure, it's clarity. If it's real, you'll know. If it isn't, you'll move on.

Live. Real.
In the moment.
