Meet Cleo, the personal matchmaker in your texts.

No app. No swiping. Members only

Cleo texting a member in iMessage

Like texting a friend who happens to know everyone in the city

(1)

Cleo lives in your iMessage. No more unnecessary apps

Text her once and the whole thing happens in that thread. No app to download, no profile to keep up with, no endless grid to swipe on.

(2)

Instead of a profile, you just talk to Cleo

Your week, your taste, what made the last one not work. Cleo asks the way a friend would before setting you up, and her questions get sharper every month.

Cleo’s thread open in iMessage on a city street
Cleo: Hey David, so you’re looking for something serious. Why now?
David: honestly i’m sick of the apps, I want to find something real
Cleo: Yeah, I’m glad you’re out. The apps make you do a lot of work for very little
Cleo: What did the last stretch on them actually look like for you?
David: just mindless swiping, got so burnt out and dates weren’t going anywhere
Cleo: Was there one that came closest? I’d want to know what was good about it

One introduction at a time, and she’ll tell you why

Cleo tells you how they connect back to something you actually told her, not a shared interest you both happened to list. One person at a time, no queue to work through.

Cleo sets up the date

The introduction, the scheduling, a few places worth going. Once you’re both in, she opens a group chat and steps back.

Vetted members only

Membership is by application. Every one is reviewed manually by the Cleo team. It keeps the pool small, serious, and worth your Thursday night.

Fair things to ask

No. Cleo works entirely over iMessage and SMS. Text her once and you’re started, the whole thing lives in a normal text thread.
from the founder

I built Cleo because the people I love kept telling me the same thing: they didn’t want more matches, they wanted someone who knew them well enough to make the right call.
