Interview: Paul Kirungi Chizo dating app CEO talks about the launch and inspiration behind the app




1. Chizo. What is in a name? Why did you name the app Chizo?

Thanks Moses, What is in a name? Chisel is a hand tool used by craftsmen to crafting and perfecting their works….so I looked for a name that would align with what Chizo is all about, a tool that should be used to perfect people’s relationship pursuits and goals. That’s why I named this App Chizo and this is the utmost goal Chizo aims to achieve.

2. What was the inspiration behind all this?

The Inspiration behind this is a little personal; A young girl, who is my relative that I will choose not to mention…. got married to someone who was recommended by her relatives and they assured her that he was the right fit. Even though she had the chance to second doubt this person, she never did because of the trust she had in her relatives. Unfortunately, after staying together, the marriage didn’t work out, because both people grew out of love, but they had 4 kids already and to make the matters worse, he infected her with HIV and a few months later she died, and today, we have to take care of her kids and the man disappeared with no trace. Without any reasonable doubt, if she was attracted to him, and him attracted to her from the word go, may be it would have been a different journey. But she had less power in the decisions taken for this union. May her soul RIP


3. What features make Chizo stand out as dating app?
 -Talk or hear only from those who have liked you back. Chizo is all about Swiping Right to someone you are attracted to and Left to someone you are not sure about. When they swipe you RIGHT too, then Chizo will match you and you will immediately start chatting, Exchanging photos and many others within the App. No need to send your number to strangers….. If you change your mind about someone, just unmatch them….and they will be gone….-Chizo, is the only dating App that is FREE to use, with unlimited Swipes, unlimited access to sending and reading messages your matches send you BUT most importantly Chizo was designed with you in mind, It takes very little Memory 9MB(3 mp3 songs) of your phone space.

– Privacy and Security; Chizo is built with the latest high end security and privacy. No one would take a screen shot of another user, as many people are found of disrespecting others privacy. So with Chizo…. it’s a safe Swipe place. 

– Chizo is testing the following premium features in America and other parts of the world:

 -That would let you hide your profile from other users, you wi be able to look at them without them seeing your profile, they would only see you once you Swipe them right.

-Another premium feature would let you Talk to anyone if you like them before they have to Swipe you right.

-Another premium feature; You will be able to Look and Swipe different people in different parts of the world by your choice. For instance you will be in position to search and swipe people in Nigeria,USA or any other part of the world when you are in Uganda.

4. How does Chizo work? Go me through the steps.

aDownload the App by clicking here
b)Login the App using Facebook (We don’t post anything about you using Chizo on your Facebook
c)Create your profile ie what sex you are seeking, what Age bracket, what are your hobbies and of course a brief bio about you that other users can read and learn about you.
d) Save and start Swiping your way to meet great people ready to share the gift of love

 
5. Have you had previous experience with dating app? If yes what was it like?

Yes, I have used dating Apps before and I have had good experience like meeting people who have become more than great friends….Bad experience from fake apps who want to charge you after signing up before even you have used and road tested to see if it is something that would serve your purpose. I hate those ones which won’t let you see a message someone has sent you until you pay them. With this, I thought this could be better….thus  Chizo everything free Except for the premium for those who want Exceptional service.


6. How is the app restricted to only those above 18?
 Chizo’s algorithm are build to immediately block any underage depending on the country where that person in located as this varies from country to country. But we also have a Report button, if you see or detect and underage, please report them by clicking that button and we will take it up from there on our end.

7. Can one somebody outside the country use the app?

Yes, Chizo is amongst the first few Apps on the global arena aiming to rewrite the rules of dating and how we meet our potential wives and husbands respectively.
8. What should we expect at the launch of the app?

 Even if you don’t have a sexy significant other this year, Valentine’s Day is still a fantastic excuse to party. Schizo will launch with Chizo single’s ball that is set to attract 400+ single people and therefore whoever comes should come ready to meet and mingle with up to 400 or more awesome people.  On a night like this, with so many singles mixing and mingling in one place, anything is possible, and who knows, maybe our single attendees will meet their match or two.Drinks are going to be on the house and when you get hungry, we still got you. There will be performances from Naava Grey, Kenneth Mugabi, Charmant Mushaga and the band all night. Tell me you want to be somewhere else….
 
9. What do you have in store for us this year?

Chizo, is planning to take Singles Ball parties to different parts of the country, different parts of Africa and the world at large.
