Apprentice reject axed by Lord Sugar to make more money than show’s winner
Joseph Valente scooped £250K from the peer - bur runner-up Vana Koutsomitis' dating app is now valued at £2MILLION
A DATING app invented by the last Apprentice runner-up is on course to make more money than the show’s winner.
Vana Koutsomitis has won £150,000 investment in three days from the crowd-funding site Seedrs for her idea.
With three weeks of fund-raising to go she is set to overtake plumber Joseph Valente, who won £250,000 from tycoon Lord Sugar.
Her app DatePlay, already valued at £2million, uses computer games to match couples.
Vana, 28, has been supported by Lord Sugar’s advisor Claude Littner and comedian Romesh Ranganathan, who appears on Apprentice spin-off show You’re Fired.
She said: “We want everyone on board to prove Lord Sugar wrong.”
