How much capital do you actually need to launch a dating site in 2026?

Everyone quotes a different number, usually whatever suits what they are selling. From what I see, the honest minimum is platform fees plus a real marketing budget for the first 90 days, because organic alone will not fill a site fast enough to create liquidity. I want to build a realistic range here. If you launched in the last 18 months, what did month one to month three actually cost you, and where did the money mostly go?
