We Believe Finding Love is Transformational
As a team, we explored many problems. After many conversations trying to answer the question, "How might we make a meaningful impact for as many people as possible?" we landed on the problem of finding a partner to experience what life has to offer. We believe that a healthy romantic partnership is one of humanity's most deeply rewarding and transformational experiences.
