Kindred

We love seeing Kylie Kelce offering to be a matchmaker for the Maher sisters on House of Maher. Good news: amateur cupids don’t need to wrack their brains for potential suitors!

Singles today want to meet through trusted friends and social circles again — but modern life makes that harder than ever. That’s why our founder built Kindred: a modern matchmaking platform that helps your friends become your digital wingmen and wingwomen 💜💚

💘 Thanks to Woman’s Day Magazine for spotlighting National Online Romance Day and Kindred in the Spring edition! Our message to readers: there’s lots of different ways to meet someone special, including tapping your friends to be digital matchmakers.

Art imitates life! There’s no shortage of new AI dating app features & AI-first dating apps available today. But it begs important questions: Do people want to outsource their love lives to AI? And does it yield better online dating experiences? Based on the headlines: not so much.

“You have so many amazing people in your life—you should have them set you up.” Charlize gets it. Dating apps aren’t working for many, which is why more singles are turning to what actually works: asking their friends and community to set them up.

Singles are taking a different approach to dating this year. DatingNews.com’s 2026 Dating Outlook confirms the shift: people are moving away from endless swiping and back to what actually works: meeting through friends, coworkers, and real-life connections.

At Kindred, we bring matchmaking back to what actually works: real connections via the people who know you best — your friends, family, and coworkers. 💘💫 Our Founder shares what makes Kindred different from the apps and how we’re redefining modern dating by blending tradition with intention.

Loving this wingwoman energy 💫 There’s a ton of friends & family who want to help the single people in their lives find love. But why limit the effort & energy of your best hype people to just one event?

We love this “friends take out a billboard to find their bestie love” story. Iconic wingman energy! But…why stop at one highway exit when you could put that same hype on a national stage? ✅ Kindred is personal ads — upgraded. ✅ It’s friends hyping eligible singles = vouched matches

We wrapped our Kindred Spirits February tour in our nation’s capital last Thursday — and let’s just say… DC understood the assignment. ✨ Our biggest Matchmaking Mixer yet = a room full of intros and “wait… you two HAVE to meet.” 🍻💘 Huge thanks to our partners at Volo Sports DC & The Crown & Crow!
