Our take

Schmooze is an app that combines machine learning and memes to match users. The app will suggest profiles based on user’s biographies and their shared humor.

Schmooze has plenty of competition, both from traditional dating platforms and from newer apps that similarly try pairing people based on shared interests rather than looks. Still, Schmooze has recently closed on $270,000 in seed funding and is largely succeeding in reaching an audience on TikTok.

There have achieved more than 10,000 downloads across the US since it was beta tested at Stanford, with 200 memes added daily.
