About Known
Known is not a dating app. Known is a matchmaker. Users join by doing a voice call with Known, we curate one match at a time, and we plan the actual date, restaurant included. No swiping. No endless chatting. Just real connection.
We're backed by Forerunner Ventures, NFX, and PearVC, and we've built a community of 10,000 users in San Francisco through parties, creators, and word-of-mouth. Now we're bringing that to San Diego.
