Founder's Story
The power of connections
I spent 3 years looking for my biological mother in Vietnam, but thanks to a viral Facebook post shared by hundreds of thousands of strangers in 2016, I was able to find her in only 18 days.
“This made me even more fascinated about connections. How could I help connect people better?”
Of all connections, the decision of who we will spend the rest of our lives with, is one of the most important decisions we can make. Seeing how all dating apps make money on keeping people single and not optimizing this process for us, made me want to change it.
