Tawkify is a dating company founded in 2012 by E. Jean Carroll and Kenneth Shaw. Based in the United States, the company is a personalized matchmaking service that utilizes human matchmakers and algorithms to help clients find their right match.[1]
The process for matchmaking involves a detailed assessment of the client's personality and preferences, followed by the selection of potential matches by the matchmakers. Upon identifying a suitable partner, the matchmakers arrange for an introductory date and provide feedback to both parties after the date.
Tawkify's approach to matchmaking has attracted a diverse clientele, including busy professionals, executives, and entrepreneurs. The company's services are available in major cities across the United States, as well as in several international locations.
Overview
editIn contrast to contemporary dating websites and services like Tinder or Match.com, users do not see photographs or personal information about any other user.[2] This way users do not conduct directly 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
editTawkify 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]
