Let's find
your person.

A private matchmaking club for accomplished
people who are tired of swiping.

Together, we build a deep and honest picture of who you are to introduce you to the person who's right for you, so that you don't need us again.

Request an invitation

The method

How it works.

01
You request an invitation
Members join by invitation. If you haven't been invited, you can request one. Every request is read personally, by a person on our team.
02
We verify every member
Before anyone is approved, they go through a formal verification process, so you can trust that the people you meet are who they say they are. Everyone also agrees to the Club Pledge.
03
We get to know you
A conversation over WhatsApp, at your pace, by voice or text. Guided by AI and read by a person on our team. It helps you put into words who you are and what you want next.
04
We introduce you to one person
We look for who complements you, based on what you need and what you've learnt. Then one introduction, with a note on why we think you'll get on. There are no photos and no profiles to browse.
05
We check in
After you meet, we check in with you both. We want to hear how it felt, and we're here for whatever comes next.

A glimpse

What we send you.

After our first conversation, you receive a written picture of who you are, how you love and where you're heading, in your own words as much as possible. You read it, tell us what's right and what isn't, and we go from there.

Club Giraffe

Tell us about a relationship that mattered. What made it good, and what happened?

Daniel and I were together for six years. He made me laugh every single day. We split when he took a job in Singapore, and neither of us wanted to ask the other to move.

Six years, and it ended because of the distance. Nothing had gone wrong between you. That tells us something.

What we've understood so far

Maya

Who you are

The first thing you told us was that Sunday mornings are the best part of your week: a long coffee, nowhere to be. It told us where to start from.

You're ready now, and you said it twice, once as "ready, not hurried" and once as "really ready". Your work is full, and there is room in your life for someone. We're taking it as you gave it.

How you love

Six years with Daniel, with laughter every day. You parted because of the distance, and you speak of it with gratitude.

One thing we noticed, and we might have it wrong. You said you tend to go quiet when something bothers you, and that you're getting better at saying it out loud. The only example you gave was with a friend. We wondered whether the real test hasn't come yet, with a partner, when more is at stake. You'll tell us if we're reading that unfairly.

In their words

Giraffe came up with a great and deep summary of me and who I am looking for. For a dating service to have this info, I totally trust it in coming up with some matches with real potential.

Member, dentist, London

Even the intake process itself has tremendous value. It helps people discover things about themselves they might never have fully realised.

Member, lawyer, California
