Right now we are more accurately described as a matchmaking service. Our goal is to help people find love, get married, and start families, not date endlessly. If your goal is to 'play the field' or just see what's out there, Keeper isn't the right fit for you. If you want to have your criteria for a lifelong partner taken seriously and get quality, vetted introductions to people looking for the same, then we're happy to serve you. We do plan on turning our entire offering into a productized "app" in the long run, but for now there is a lot of human effort behind the scenes.
It depends on a lot of factors. Our goal isn't to promise a set number of matches in a specific time frame, our goal is to introduce you to someone who is exactly what you're looking for, and who is looking for someone like you. Quality over quantity. Generally, our onboarding and information gathering phase will take a couple weeks. From there, it's typically taken a few months to match people with someone they end up in a long-term relationship with. The cadence is slower than dating apps because we are far more deliberate.
Members on our paid plans usually get matched more quickly than members of the free pool, because we dedicate substantial resources to search on their behalf. Free members should expect to receive a match eventually, but paying members are moved to the front of the queue and prioritized in our system, because every match must include one paying member.
Keeper currently accepts paid users from people who spend time in North America and Europe, but anyone in the world can join the Keeper matchmaking pool.
We're only available in English at this time.
Anything you can think of.
Maybe. We've done it before, but it doesn't happen every time. It mainly depends on how conscious you are of what you're looking for and how comprehensive you are in the preferences and information you provide.
Yes. Unlike other matchmakers, we don't make matches just to hit a quota. We only make a match when we have someone who meets all of your standards, and vice versa. Before we make an introduction, we vet you and your match to make sure you meet all of each others' preferences. We will be in contact with you both to determine if and where there's flexibility, but our goal is finding fit, not forcing it.
A few key things:
Keeper has three payment tiers: Free, Pay for First Date, and Marriage Bounty.
Free members are eligible to be matched with paying members only. If you don't want to pay for Keeper, we encourage you to sign up as a free member, because odds are we'll be able to match you. You never pay, and your match is guaranteed to meet 100% of your preferences.
On our Pay for First Date plan, you pay for a first date with someone who meets 100% of your preferences. The important difference between this plan and free membership is that you're eligible to be matched with both paid and free members, unlocking thousands of potential matches. The Pay for First Date plan has custom pricing depending on your needs and situation.
Keeper's Marriage Bounty plan entitles you to unlimited matches, one at a time and you don't pay anything unless you marry someone we introduce you to. All matches are guaranteed to meet 100% of your criteria for a partner (and you theirs). Members on the Marriage Bounty plan are eligible to be matched with both paid and free members. Pricing on this plan varies depending on your needs and situation.
Keeper's database is in the thousands of users now. We also go outbound for all of our paying users and leverage several different channels to find exactly who you're looking for, even if they haven't signed up for Keeper yet.
Our matchmakers use the AI to vet candidates for you and make matches more efficiently. Dating apps use basic algorithms like "does this person meet your height criteria." Our AI reads, understands, and makes decisions based on the natural language information and preferences you provide. It also analyzes photos to ensure matches meet your appearance criteria. It is constantly improving its capabilities, and our goal is to make it so effective that one day it can completely replace human matchmakers. At that point, we will bring the service to everyone on Earth at a price everyone can afford.
Most people won't fill out a long form about their deepest personal information and preferences for a spouse unless they are looking for something serious. There are plenty of faster, easier, and cheaper ways to date casually. When making a match, we ask even more questions and gather more information to ensure 100% fit. On the low chance that someone signs up for Keeper with short-term intentions, it's easy to identify and remove them based on their behavior during this phase.
No. Our services are ad-hoc, and you can cancel for a full refund anytime.
We launched in May 2022. We are a venture-backed startup with investments from Bain Capital, Sovereign Capital, and Champion Hill Ventures, among others.
In one year since our launch about 1 in 10 first dates that we've scheduled have led to marriage engagements.
Yes.
On the pay for first date plan, we guarantee that your match will meet all the preferences you provide, or you get your money back. We don't believe in blind dates and we want to be as incentive aligned as possible.
On the Marriage Bounty plan, you don't have to put any money down up front so payment isn't done until marriage. We do not refund for annullments or divorce.
If you are a paying member, we actively match on your behalf. That means we comb through our database and reach out into our matchmaking networks until we find someone, do due diligence, and make the match. If you join as a free member, we consider you first to be matched with paying members. Generally speaking, paying members match more quickly. That being said, our client list is growing daily, and if you join for free the odds are high that you will eventually be matched. Free members never pay, even if we match you.
You may join our matchmaking pool for free to be matched with our paying members. We encourage you to do so, because odds are we will eventually match you.
When we make a match, we show the man to the woman before the man sees her. If the woman says the man is someone she’d like to meet, we then show the woman’s profile to the man. If she’s not interested, the man never sees her profile.
Most of the information we collect is only used behind the scenes to ensure match quality. Profiles are built using only information that would be appropriate to share before a first date. You can feel safe knowing we won’t overshare on your behalf.
Keeper uses a proprietary algorithm developed using a combination of custom AI models and third party models, including OpenAI's GPT API. All of our AI algorithms are guided by relationship science and evolutionary psychology, allowing us to create matches optimized for short-term attraction and long-term compatibility.
We take your privacy and data security extremely seriously. We do not sell your data to anyone and we don't share it with anyone except your match. For men, relevant features of your profile will be shared with interested women; for women, we only share relevant profile details with men you explicitly express interest in. Contact information is only exchanged once both parties have agreed to the match. Your sensitive preferences for a partner are never shared with anyone. We value the trust you place in us because we need it to make quality matches. Maintaining confidentiality and discretion is our top priority.
At the moment, we have an AI-powered application used internally by our matchmakers, and user information is collected via this website, text, phone, and email. We are in the process of building a user-facing web app with completely automated matchmaking.
