A refuge from the endless scroll.
We built Perch to rescue people that are serious about finding a partner from the grueling world of dating apps, replacing it with real curation.
Our Principles
Curation over volume
A smaller number of well-chosen introductions beats an infinite queue of near-misses. Three people worth meeting is the whole point.
Feedback that counts
What you liked and did not like about a match is not thrown away. It goes straight back into the model, so the next introduction is better reasoned than the last.
Built for real connection
Every measure of success we hold ourselves to is about the quality of the people you meet, not the hours you spend in the app.
Mission Statement
We live in the 21st century.
Technology has never been more advanced. We can pay for anything with the tap of a phone, order cuisine from around the world with the push of a button, and write a 10,000 word essay in the space of two minutes.
Despite all this, dating in the 21st century has never felt more punishing.
Hours of swiping, meaningless matches, and being judged on what you look like in just 3–4 photos – not for who you really are.
We built Perch to put a full stop on dating apps designed to keep you single.
We’ve spent years developing a system and engine built to deliver real connections with likeminded people, looking for exactly the same thing. An application that learns while you do, constantly finding out what works, what doesn’t, and refining your matches.
If you’re serious about finding a partner, then so are we.
Our journey is just beginning, and yours could be too.
The Perch Team
Fewer introductions. Better reasons for each one.
