From a young age, Tucker Sawyer struggled with a variety of neurological disorders, including Tourette Syndrome. During his time at UT, he worked on a startup dealing with atmospheric water generators as a comfort and coping mechanism.
Sawyer, a radiation physics and chemical engineering junior, channeled his passion for entrepreneurship to solve a common problem among his peers: dating. In August , he launched IceBreak Dating β an app distinct from Tinder or Bumble for its video call feature and partnership with various Austin venues β to allow UT students to make real connections.
By September, the app had registered participants. Arthur Williamson, a nutrition and exercise science junior who downloaded IceBreak Dating two weeks ago, said he feels the new app runs smoothly and accomplishes the mission of providing a safer and easier solution to dating for students. As the startup develops to reach even more users, Sawyer said he plans to update IceBreak to not only an app for single people, but an app for couples as a way for them to stay connected.
