Where we started
Dating built for Columbia.
Why this exists
Everyone is lovable
if you get to know them.
That is not a nice sentiment to put on a website. It is the whole design. Most dating apps are built to help you rule people out quickly — a photo, a height, a swipe. This one is built to help you understand somebody.
Don’t just notice the differences. Try to understand them.
A fingerprint does not rank people and it does not tell you who to want. It tells you why someone is the way they are — how they recharge, what makes them go quiet, the pace that feels like home to them. When you can see that, a difference stops being a red flag and becomes the most interesting thing on the page.
Built by a neuroscientist

Designed by a neuroscientist, not a growth team. You decide which parts to complete and what to share.

Good questions
Frequently asked.
Is Soda City Crush free to use?
Yes. Creating a profile, connecting, and messaging are free.
What is a Dating Fingerprint?
It is an optional, editable collection of personality and connection-preference check-ins that helps express what matters to you. Five check-ins, 60 questions, 25 scored dimensions—you choose which to complete, and each one is private until you reveal it.
Who built the fingerprint system?
A neuroscientist. The personality check-in uses the 20-item Mini-IPIP Big Five markers, a public-domain research instrument, rather than an invented questionnaire. It is a descriptive, non-clinical self-report profile—it does not diagnose anything or predict whether a relationship will work.
Can I control what people see?
Yes. You choose which profile details and check-in dimensions are visible.
