A real comparison
Curated Introductions vs. Traditional Matchmaking
Matchmaking has become more about the consultant than the actual date. Here's how our approach to curated introductions compares to the traditional matchmaking model.
| Curated Introductions | Traditional Matchmaking | |
|---|---|---|
| Where matches come from | Our active event community | A private client database |
| Contracts | None | Often required, sometimes long-term |
| Process | Simple, a few key details | Lengthy consultations and intake |
| Cost | $149 to $662 | Often $2,000+ |
| What you get access to | Introductions plus our full event calendar | Introductions only |
Why we built it differently
We noticed the same thing you probably have: matchmaking has become more about the consultant than the actual date. Long contracts, high fees, and a process that feels more like a sales pitch than a way to meet someone. We wanted a fresh alternative, simplicity and sophistication, built around real people who already want to meet each other.
The community advantage
Because we're already hosting hundreds of events a year, we're not scrambling to build a client database from scratch. We're choosing from an already great, already engaged crowd, people we've actually met, not names in a spreadsheet.
Looking for the fully managed, high-touch experience traditional matchmaking is known for? We also recommend Luvo Matchmaking, a founder-led, premium matchmaking service for those who want that level of process.
