Derek Chadwick, co-founder of the gay dating and lifestyle app Goose, announced his departure on August 21, 2026, stating on Instagram that he had stepped away from the company the previous week, approximately two months after its launch. Chadwick cited a conflicting vision for the company's direction, noting it no longer aligned with his original intent. Goose, marketed as a rival to Grindr, aimed to distinguish itself by emphasizing genuine relationships and connections. His resignation followed reports that surfaced in mid-August regarding an alleged AI controversy, where the app was reportedly using AI to create fake potential dates, although it remains unclear if this directly influenced his decision. Chadwick had initially billed Goose as "social-first" and "anti-algorithm." Earlier, in July, the app had attracted users drawn to its mission of focusing less on hookups and more on friendship and genuine connections.
