Celeste Amadon and Asher Allen stumbled on a breakthrough while building a restaurant-booking app: people love talking. That insight led to Known, a San Francisco-based dating app that uses AI-powered voice onboarding to learn about users without forms.
Average onboarding: 26 minutes, with some hitting 1 hour 38 minutes.
Early tests: 80% of matches led to in-person dates, far surpassing swipe-based apps.
Investors are taking notice, with the startup raising $9.7M from Forerunner, NFX, Pear VC, and Coelius Capital.
