It takes an average of 9 months before someone finds a partner on typical dating apps. We believe this delay exists partly because those tools try to serve everyone. Agapi starts and ends with marriage. This focus lets us understand the nuances of matching people like you. For example, you can filter for culture—so if you’re Nigerian (or looking for Nigerian), you won’t be matched with profiles from cultures you’re not interested in.

We ground every match in relationship science. Similarities in values, mutual preferences, and similarity attractiveness scores all predict relationship longevity. Agapi’s questionnaire weights these factors so you’re not just likely to match—you’re more likely to thrive together. And we continue to do research on this front.
