Known is an AI-powered matchmaking company on a mission to empower humanity by applying general intelligence to human connection. Unlike traditional dating apps that rely on swiping, Known takes a fundamentally different approach — users join by telling their life story through a conversation with an AI voice agent (averaging 27 minutes), giving the platform uniquely intimate context to make meaningful matches.

Known handles everything from finding your match to planning your date, removing the friction from the user and transferring it to the platform. The result: real dates with proven chemistry, no swiping required.

Culture & Team

Known is a tight-knit team of 18 based in Cow Hollow, San Francisco. The company is engineering-heavy, founded by builders behind some of the most widely used AI-driven consumer products including Uber Eats, Uber, and Afterpay. The culture blends technical excellence with the social energy you'd expect from a consumer dating brand — rooftop cocktail nights, team off-sites, and a genuinely fun, young environment where everyone is social and friendly.

Backed by a $10M seed round from Forerunner Ventures, NFX, and Pear VC, Known is sprinting toward a Series A and actively launching in new cities across the US. The company has already amassed 10,000+ users in San Francisco and is expanding to San Diego, LA, New York, and Chicago.
