""We're saying we actually know who could be your soulmate or not," Jake Kozloski, Keeper's CEO, told Business Insider. "We're not going to waste your time and pretend that a hundred thousand of these people could be. We'll tell you no.""
"Investors "see AI as an inflection point in the dating app landscape" and an opportunity to "disrupt the incumbents," Kozloski said."
""They feel like there's a marriage crisis adjacent to the whole Elon Musk fertility crisis stuff that he talks about," said Kozloski, who described Keeper as being "friendly with the pronatalist movement.""
Keeper is an AI matchmaking startup founded in 2022 that uses layers of algorithms and AI models to match users and identify potential soulmates. The company raised $4 million in a pre-seed round in October 2024 led by Lightbank and Lakehouse Ventures with participation from Goodwater Capital and Champion Hill Ventures. Keeper reports more than 1.5 million sign-ups and about 300,000 created accounts, with a small number of matches; its beta claimed 10% of dates resulted in marriage. Keeper aligns with pronatalist values but does not require users to want children.
