Info

Smoke removes chat from dating. Users send location-based invitations and meet in person in Los Angeles. The founder arrived with wireframes and a thesis backed by user research; he needed a company, not just an app. OSMOS defined the MVP, built the brand identity and full UI/UX, wrote a tiered go-to-market from seeded waitlist to launch party to paid and PR, then delivered full-stack development ahead of launch.

No chat. Just meet.

A first-time founder entering the most crowded consumer category, where positioning matters more than features. We built the brand around four pillars: Vetted with Purpose, IRL Connections, Community-Driven Growth, and Cultural Relevance, and gave the launch its earned-media angles, from the LA dating app that bans endless chatting to first drink's on Smoke. Identity and interface were designed together so the product feels like the brand from the first invitation.
