Andris Barkans
Founder, BlindfoldDate
BlindfoldDate started from a boring loop: “what do you want to do tonight?” “I don’t know, what do you want to do?” Not a fight — just friction, the same five minutes of nobody-deciding that quietly drains the evening you’d both been looking forward to.
I built BlindfoldDate to delete that step. You set a budget and whether you’re staying in or heading out. We handle the rest — the place, the plan, and a playful mission to go with it — and neither of you sees it until it’s time to go. You find out together.
When you’ve shared your location, we pull real nearby venues through Google Places, filtered by your interests and a minimum 4.0 rating, and an AI builds the plan around that specific place — title, description, vibe, and the mission. No location? The same engine invents a date from scratch, checked against your history so you never get a repeat. Either way, it’s one concrete plan — not a list to scroll through.
I’m Andris, a solo founder building BlindfoldDate full-time. No agency, no ghostwritten blog — the posts on this site are mine, and if something breaks or feels off, you can tell me directly.
