About Us
We are a venture-backed, stealth-stage technology company building next-generation matchmaking and relationship platforms. Our mission is to reimagine how people connect, using AI, community, and content as our building blocks.
We’re not building another dating app — we’re creating an experience where users feel: “This app gets me.”
We're in stealth, moving fast, and looking to bring on Android craftspersons who obsess over performance, polish, and product feel — foundational builders who will shape our mobile experience.
