LGBTQ+ dating · social apps
Jack'd is a location-based chat + dating app for gay and bisexual men, launched in 2010 and acquired in 2019 by Perry Street Software — the New-York-headquartered LGBTQIA+-tech company that also owns SCRUFF. Together the two apps serve 15M+ users across 190+ countries, with particular depth in Asia-Pacific. Perry Street's stated mission is simple: "we build apps that connect the GBTQ community" — and its Asia arm (PSS Asia) runs commercial + community partnerships for both brands across Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, and Indonesia. Jack'd differentiates through its regional product-localisation strength and community-safety + sexual-health resource integration, and has become a significant advertising platform for brands targeting the Asia-Pacific gay consumer. In Thailand, Jack'd is one of the most-used gay dating apps and has consistently carried Pride Month programming.
