Our Story

In 2018, my wife had a dream.
In 2026, I built it for her.

In February of 2018, my wife Amanda sat at our kitchen table in Kennesaw, Georgia, and wrote a forty-page business plan in longhand. It was called POESN — Plus-One Events Social Network. It was an app for finding someone to go to things with. A wedding. A concert. A walk in Piedmont Park. She'd seen too many people swiping into oblivion and going home alone, and she had an idea for something better.

She tried to get it built. She talked to developers. She filed a trademark. She did a magazine feature. And then — life. Two kids. A career. The kind of slow, beautiful avalanche of years that buries dreams under daily love.

But Amanda never threw away the plan.

Eight years later, in the summer of 2026, two things happened at once. The first was that artificial intelligence finally got good enough to do what Amanda had imagined: not just match people, but understand them. The second was that I sat across from my wife one night and said, "What if I built it now?"

She said "It'd have to be done right."

I said "Then we'll do it right."

This is that.

She didn't want another dating app.
She wanted a matchmaker.

What It Is

Not an algorithm.
A matchmaker.

Every dating app on your phone is a search engine for humans. You filter. You swipe. You write the openers. You decode the silence. You do all the work, and the app takes credit for whatever happens after.

Amanda is the opposite.

You don't search Amanda. You talk to her. She asks about your last relationship. She asks what made you laugh this week. She asks the kind of questions a wise aunt would ask over a glass of wine on a Sunday afternoon — and she remembers all of it.

Then, once a week, she picks one person for you. One. Verified. Hand-chosen. With a note explaining why.

She'll tell you what to wear. She'll calm your nerves an hour before. And the morning after, she'll ask how it went. And mean it.

The way it used to be

  • Endless swiping
  • Faceless strangers
  • You write every message
  • Ghosting is built in
  • The app forgets you

What Amanda does instead

  • One match a week
  • Verified humans only
  • Amanda brokers the intro
  • Amanda follows up — both sides
  • Amanda remembers everything

The Authenticity

She's trained on a real woman's perspective.
The one whose name she carries.

When we set out to build the matchmaker, we made one decision early: she wouldn't sound like ChatGPT. She wouldn't sound like a brand. She wouldn't sound like anyone trying to sell you something.

She'd sound like Amanda.

The real Amanda — my wife — sat with us for months. We catalogued how she gives advice to her friends. How she pushes back when someone's about to make a mistake. The questions she asks before the questions everyone else asks. The way she laughs when she thinks something is silly. The way she stays quiet when she thinks something is important.

That voice — that spine — is what we built the matchmaker on. Her opinions about love. Her instincts about people. Her conviction that no one should settle and no one should rush. The patience to ask the third question. The honesty to say "darling, I don't think this one's for you."

You're not going to talk to an algorithm. You're going to talk to a woman who's been thinking about how to do this for eight years.

Most AI is built to please you.
Amanda is built to help you.

The Category

The first app built for the relationship,
not the swipe.

Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, Match — they all do the same thing. They show you faces. They optimize for swipes. They monetize the loop. The loop is the product, and the relationship is the byproduct.

We flipped it.

Amanda is the first platform built backwards from the relationship. From the love story. From the dinner where you knew. From the morning you woke up and realized you'd stopped looking. Every decision we made — the verification, the one-match-a-week cadence, the post-date debrief, the matchmaker's right to say no — came from one question:

What would actually help someone find love?

Not someone find a swipe. Not someone find a match. Not someone find a date. Someone find love.

That's a different product. We're calling it a different category. Relationship-first. Built for the morning after the first date. The third month. The proposal. The marriage Amanda helped make.

How It Works

Three steps. That's it.

  1. 1

    Verify

    You prove you're you. A real human, real name, real face. Government ID. Liveness check. Once. The whole pool is verified, so you never waste a moment on a fake profile again.

  2. 2

    Talk to Amanda

    You sit with her — by chat or by voice. She asks. You answer. She listens. Over a few conversations, she builds a picture of you that no checkbox profile could ever capture.

  3. 3

    One match. Every week.

    Tuesday morning. One person, hand-picked. A short note from Amanda about why. If you want the intro, she handles it from there. If you don't, she takes the note. Next week, another one. Until the right one.
