In Episode 49, Polly Dhaliwal sits down with Song Kim, the founder of Zaya Social, a new platform designing safe, intentional, low-pressure social experiences for women navigating modern dating. Recorded live at Web Summit, this conversation dives deep into the changing landscape of dating, technology, women’s safety, and how social wellness is becoming central to how we connect.

Polly opens the episode from the heart of one of the world’s biggest gatherings for founders and changemakers. As COO of Enterprise Nation and Founder of Girls In Movement, Polly reflects on the mission of empowering young women globally with confidence, education, and opportunities to build their futures. Her guest, Song Kim, embodies this spirit.

Song shares her honest and personal journey of navigating dating apps, the self-esteem challenges many women face online, and how her own experiences inspired her to build Zaya Social. Instead of endless profiles and swiping, Zaya curates small in-person group hangouts, matching six singles based on hobbies, personality, and shared values — designed to reduce dating fatigue, social anxiety, and pressure.

Together, Polly and Song explore:

• Why today’s dating apps still feel overwhelming for women • What “social wellness” really means and how it can transform confidence • The societal pressures women face around dating, marriage, and timelines • The cultural differences in dating across Korea, Europe, and South Asia • How communities, offline experiences, and curation can rebuild trust • Song’s shift from product design to becoming a solo female founder • Her journey as an Alpha startup at Web Summit and preparing to pitch • The future vision for Zaya Social, AI-powered matching, and global expansion • What young girls (and anyone starting out) should remember when choosing their path

This is an honest, warm, and uplifting conversation about pursuing ideas that matter, trusting your instincts, and building products that put women’s safety and wellbeing first.

If you’re a young founder, a woman navigating the dating landscape, or someone passionate about female-led innovation, this episode is full of insight, empowerment, and real talk.
