What is a Raya and when was it launched?

Raya is a private, membership-based social network application designed for dating, networking, and making friends.

It is often referred to as the Tinder for celebrities due to its high-profile user base, which includes celebrities, influencers, and industry professionals.

Raya was launched in March 2015 by Daniel Gendelman.

It gained popularity for its exclusivity, requiring prospective members to go through a rigorous application process, including an endorsement from an existing member, and an anonymous committee review.

How do you qualify for the Raya dating app?

Qualifying for the Raya dating app involves an application process that highlights its exclusivity.

Prospective users must first download the app and submit an application, providing personal information, photos, and details about their career and social media presence.

A referral or endorsement from an existing Raya member significantly increases the chances of acceptance, though it is not strictly required.

Each application is reviewed by an anonymous committee, which has around 500 members worldwide, that evaluates various factors, including the applicant's influence, career achievements, and social media following.
