March 2026 Summaries

Breeze, a European dating app focused on fostering real-life connections by minimizing on-screen interactions, enhanced its user verification process with the help of Prelude, resulting in a notable increase in verification conversion rates. As the app expanded across the UK, Belgium, France, and Germany, it faced challenges in ensuring efficient onboarding and protection against fraudulent activity, which Prelude addressed by filtering out suspicious traffic such as burner and temporary phone numbers. This partnership not only bolstered Breeze's community safeguards but also improved the onboarding experience, leading to a 1% increase in successful verifications, which significantly impacts the app's user acquisition and retention strategy. Prelude's seamless integration into Breeze's existing systems, supported by robust documentation and responsive communication, further facilitated this improvement, highlighting a shared incentive model that aligns the interests of users, partners, and the company. As Breeze looks to broaden its offerings with new formats like group dates and offline events, maintaining a reliable verification flow remains central to its growth strategy.
