Cory Etzkorn

Hi, I’m Cory. I’m the founder of Soulmate, the dating app that listens. No swiping, no profiles, just a conversation that learns who you are and finds your match.

I was one of Notion’s first 20 employees, working on design and engineering during the company’s early years. I’m proud of helping craft a brand & product that is loved by many.

Previously, I co-founded and built Stow, a social shopping app. Prior to that, I worked on design systems at The Wall Street Journal. In the early days, I led front-end engineering at Fuzzco

After hours, I teach power vinyasa yoga and take long baths. Once upon a time, I was a Hawaiian coffee farmer.

I believe the best teams and products are built where design and engineering intersect.
