Matching times vary based on individual preferences and compatibility factors. Our focus is not on delivering a set number of matches within a strict timeframe, but on connecting you with someone who is exactly what you are looking for and who is looking for someone like you. It's about quality over quantity in the extreme.

‍

The onboarding and information-gathering phase generally takes a couple of weeks. After that, it typically takes a few months to match members with someone they enter a long-term relationship with. Our cadence is slower than dating apps because we are far more deliberate.

‍

Members on our paid plans are matched more quickly than those on our free plan because they are given priority and can match with anyone in our database, including free members. Free members are eligible to match only with paying members, but should still expect to receive a match eventually.

Keeper currently accepts paid members who live in or frequently visit the US, Canada, and the UK. However, anyone worldwide can join the Keeper free pool.

Keeper is currently available only in English.

Anything you can think of.

Possibly. About one in six of our matches result in a long-term relationship. Success largely depends on how clear you are about what you're looking for and how well you communicate your preferences and personal details.

Yes, within a small margin of flexibility. Unlike other matchmakers, we don't make matches simply to meet a quota. We only introduce you to someone when they meet your standards, and you meet theirs.

‍

Before an introduction, we carefully vet you and your match to ensure you both meet each other's preferences. If there's any flexibility, we'll discuss it with both of you to determine compatibility. Our goal is to find the right fit - not to force it.

A few key things:

1. Most matchmakers make money by charging a subscription or yearly fee. Keeper only profits when you get what you are looking for - a successful relationship with the love of your life.
2. We don't make fuzzy matches. Other matchmakers will make mediocre matches because they need to hit a quota. Their incentive structure is simply different than ours. We've set our incentives to be aligned with yours, intentionally forcing ourselves to only make exceptional matches.
3. Keeper goes deep on psychometric attributes like IQ, personality type, and masculine/feminine polarity, as well as many other predictive traits. We're not relying on mere intuition and guesswork.
4. We actively help you improve yourself and your odds at success. We'll suggest things you can work on to get the matches you want based on feedback from real people who meet your preferences. We also test your photos and optimize your profile for you. On Keeper, your best foot is always forward.

Keeper has two plans: Free and Marriage Bounty.

‍

Free: As a free member, you're eligible to be matched with paying members only. Your match is guaranteed to meet your preferences, and you don't pay anything. While the matching process does take longer for free members, we encourage you to sign up, as we aim to find a match for everyone eventually.
‍

Marriage Bounty: Keeper's Marriage Bounty plan increases your chances of success by about 1,000x by allowing matches with both paid and free members. You pay a fee for match you receive. These payments are deducted from a larger "bounty" that is paid only when you achieve success with a match, ensuring our interests are aligned with yours.

‍

Pricing for the Marriage Bounty plan varies based on individual needs and circumstances.

We have over 250,000 members.

Our matchmakers use advanced algorithms, including AI language and vision models, to assist with vetting candidates and making accurate matches more efficiently. The AI reads, understands, and analyzes the information you provide in your own words, interpreting your preferences and criteria. It also evaluates photos to ensure appearance criteria are met. As the AI's capabilities improve, we plan to make Keeper increasingly accessible and affordable through automation, eventually offering high-quality matchmaking to everyone on earth.

Most people won't complete an in-depth form about their personal values and preferences for a spouse unless they're genuinely seeking a serious relationship. There are plenty of faster, easier, and cheaper ways to date casually. Additionally, when we make a match, we ask even more questions and gather more information to ensure a strong, lasting fit. On the rare occasion that someone joins with short-term intentions, we can easily identify and remove them from the platform based on their responses and behavior.

No. Keeper's services are ad-hoc, and you're free to cancel at any time.

Keeper was founded in May 2022. We're a venture-backed startup with investments from Champion Hill Ventures, Bain Capital Ventures, Lightbank, Lakehouse Ventures, and Jonathan Swanson (co-founder of Thumbtack), among others.

Since our launch two years ago, approximately 1 in 10 first dates arranged by Keeper have led to marriage engagements.

No, Keeper is not affiliated with any political philosophy or party. Keeper's founders and employees hold a diverse set of beliefs and are united by our shared focus on Keeper's mission, vision, and values. We do not engage in issues outside our scope, and we proudly serve clients from all backgrounds, beliefs, and values.

Our Marriage Bounty plan has no signup fee. You pay only when you are matched and after you've achieved long-term success with a match.

The Marriage Bounty contract includes a few conditions under which you would pay. These conditions reflect milestones we consider equivalent to marriage or strong indicators that the relationship is likely headed toward marriage.

‍

The conditions are:

1. You marry in a civil or religious ceremony.
2. You and your match have a child together.
3. You or your match legally adopt one of the others' children.
4. You live together at the same legal address for a year or more.
5. You date in a committed, romantic relationship for 18 months or more.

As a paying member, we actively search for matches on your behalf, thoroughly vetting candidates and ensuring a high-quality match. You are able to match with anyone in the Keeper database, whether they're on paid or free plans. We prioritize paid members, so they generally receive a match more quickly.

‍

As a free member, you're eligible to be matched if we find that you're an ideal fit for one of our paying members. While matches may take longer, our client list is growing daily, so there's a good chance we eventually find your match. Free members never pay, and free matches are held to the same quality standard as matches for our paying members. After all, a match that's only good for one party isn't a good match for either party.

You're welcome to join our matchmaking pool for free, where you'll be eligible to match with paying members. We encourage you to join, as there's a good chance we'll eventually find a match for you.

In our matching process, women review a potential match's profile first. If the woman is interested, we then show her profile to the man. If she's not interested, the man won't see her profile. Additionally, our algorithms are designed to consider common preference differences between men and women to enhance matching accuracy.

Most of the information we collect is used privately to ensure match quality. Profiles are crafted with only the details that would be appropriate to share before a first date. You can feel confident knowing that we won't overshare on your behalf.

Keeper utilizes a proprietary algorithm that combines custom AI models with third-party models, including OpenAI's GPT API. These AI algorithms are guided by relationship science and evolutionary psychology, enabling us to create matches optimized for both short-term attraction and long-term compatibility.

We take your privacy and data security very seriously. We never sell your data or share it with anyone outside of your match. For men, relevant profile details are shared with women we think you will be interested in. For women, we only share profile details with men you explicitly express interest in. Contact information is exchanged only after both parties agree to the match. Your specific preferences are kept strictly confidential.

‍

We understand the importance of trust in our work. Maintaining your confidentiality and discretion is our highest priority.

Currently, Keeper does not offer a user-facing app. Our matchmakers use an internal AI-powered application to assist in the matchmaking process. User information is collected through our website, text, phone, and email. We are in the process of developing a web app that will provide completely automated matchmaking for users.
