Summary
What kind of business is this
Visit site ritmodating.com/enRitmo narrows down the social App to a small circle of 'single people who love sports', using common sports as ice-breaking topics, and then uses running teams to bring online matches offline. It was first launched in Brazil with a Portuguese-language store name, using free matching to attract people, and those who want to be seen by more people or use more functions can buy Pro membership and Boosts.
