Former Formula 1 test driver Alex Lynn has invested £100,000 into Pacer, a new app that has been described as 'Sports Tinder.' The app is slated for launch in London this year and aims to connect individuals who participate in sports such as running, tennis, and padel.
Pacer's founder, Dylan Morris-Jones, explained that unlike traditional dating apps, users initially sign up to find people with shared sports interests. The potential for friendship, community, or romantic relationships is seen as a secondary outcome. Lynn commented that sport is an effective way to meet people, fostering connections through shared effort and time.
