Odasiti opens its waitlist for a new dating experiment built around connection before appearance
Perth-built platform replaces photo-led first impressions with avatars, compatibility games, progressive communication and an in-person Reveal
Odasiti has opened its public waitlist for a dating and connection platform built around one question: what can happen when people encounter the person before the picture?

Five opening briefs for lifestyle, privacy, safety, wellbeing and Perth coverage.
Beyond the swipe: Odasiti is redesigning how people first connect
Odasiti removes member photos and videos and gives people ways to explore compatibility before direct communication and physical appearance take centre stage.
The dating platform that never sees your face
Member photos and videos are not part of Odasiti at all. Every member uses an Oda avatar and a private profile name. Permanent visual anonymity remains part of the on-platform identity.
What would a dating platform look like if safety shaped the architecture from the beginning?
Odasiti reduces avoidable identity exposure and places progressive controls between discovery, direct communication and meeting in person, including required emergency contacts for scheduled meetups.
Can dating technology help people feel more connected, even before they find a relationship?
Odasiti was conceived against a backdrop of growing loneliness and thin digital interaction. It does not claim to treat loneliness. It asks whether dating technology can create more meaningful opportunities to connect.
Built in Perth, designed to bring people closer
Odasiti was developed in Perth, Western Australia. A platform concerned with belonging and connection emerging from a city often described through remoteness.
