In previous episodes, we have analyzed our astrological signs, as well as learned the art and science of matchmaking. Today, we’re going to take both subjects one step further and talk about astrology-based matchmaking. Does such a thing exist? According to Rachel Lo, the CEO and Co-Founder of Struck - an astrology-based dating app prioritizing intentional conversations and emotional intelligence - the answer is, yes. Rachel is a former Apple product design engineer turned matchmaker, who, despite her STEM background, turned to astrology in her mid-twenties to help make sense of the world around her. Tune in as we hear Rachel’s journey leaving her “science playground” at Apple to the struggles/wins of starting her own app!

Episode 107: Mixing Tech, Love, and Astrology with Rachel Lo, Founder of Struck

In this episode we chat with the Struck CEO &amp; Co-Founder, Rachel Lo! She shares her journey coming from a secular, technical background to developing an astrology-based dating app. Even if you're an astrology skeptic (like James), there still definitely something to be gained from this discussion. Rachel's message to skeptics: "Consider why astrology makes you so uncomfortable? Is it really harming you/other people, or is it just that you’re unfamiliar with it? Also: try reading your birth chart and see how it resonates with you!"  HIGHLIGHTS: -       Rachel grew up in the South Bay of LA and went to UC Berkeley for engineering. - Worked at Apple and other tech companies for a few years -       Didn't believe in astrology at first, but the inequities in the workforce made Rachel consider that the world isn't concrete and filled with more nuance. -       Met her co-founder after renting a house in SF with others working at Apple. -       Struck designed to make experiences more meaningful and fun, it's based off astrological compatibility. -       Dating apps have a similar playbook for launching apps, but the pandemic disrupted that. -       Struck was in the Top 10 lifestyle apps in the Apple App Store. -       James initially hesitant to have Rachel on as a guest due to his skepticism of astrology. - Parents immigrated from Hong Kong and met in NY -       Struck is rooted in Western astrology (Hellenistic/Greek). -       Parents were supportive of Rachel starting Struck. -       Rachel breaks down James's and Dan's astrological chart -       Had issues with the Apple App Store due to their restrictions on astrology apps. -       Dating apps were engineered for people to continue to date, i.e. endless swiping. Struck aims to change that.
