Company mission

To foster genuine, meaningful relationships.

Our take

The Marriage Pact is a dating service committed to finding life partners, that was founded at Stanford University in 2017. Now, 98% of Stanford students participate in the matchmaking scheme.

There are much more popular dating apps out there, such as Tinder, Bumble and Hinge. These services, however, imply that finding love is as simple as seeing a picture or reading a fun fact. The Marriage Pact is determined to create more meaningful relationships. There are no profiles or pictures. Instead, participants answer a thorough 50-question survey from which the algorithm introduces people they think are worth considering long term.

Approximately 30% of participants end up meeting their match and of that fraction, 1/8 are said to still be dating a year on. It has grown exponentially since its fruition, now existing in over 80 colleges across the U.S. Recent funding will see growth and expansion, such as current development of paid additions to the free service.
