Tawkify

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tawkify is a dating intermediary company which employs human matchmakers.[1]

Overview[]

In contrast to contemporary dating websites and services like Tinder or Match.com, users don't see photographs or personal information about any other user,[2] removing the process of users conducting the screening process. Rather, users create private profiles and Tawkify employs human "Matchmakers" (including founder E. Jean Carroll) to pair members, by identifying profiles that they believe share common interests and values. The Matchmakers plan dates and collect feedback from both parties after each date in order to tune future matches.[2]

Tawkify facilitates opposite-sex and same-sex relationships in the United States and Canada.[3]

History[]

Tawkify was founded by Kenneth Shaw and E. Jean Carroll. According to The New York Times, "The two met years ago, when Ms. Carroll sought out Mr. Shaw...to help her design her own app".[4]

The company's website launched in January 2012.[2]
