The first question
Who are you looking for?
A good matchmaker asks this first. So do we, on your concierge call, along with where you’re stuck.
1%: your concierge call asks this first.

A matchmaker: usually asks it first too. Both start with her.
Same first question. What differs is where you’ll meet her, and who sets up the date.
Dead even on the first question.
Where we differ
Here’s where we’re different.
Key difference 01 · Where to look
If the women you want are on a matchmaker’s list, hire the matchmaker.
A matchmaker
Their list is who you’ll meet.
A matchmaker introduces you to women from their own network. If the woman you want is on that list, that works well.
1%
We go where she already is.
A woman with plenty of options doesn’t need a matchmaker. She’s on the dating apps, right now.
Meeting online is now the most common way couples in the US get together.
So that’s where she’ll decide on you, from your photos.
Great in person, but no dates from the apps. Then about 3 dates a week, 2 to 3 months in.
He used photos his friends took. Barely any results. Then 6 dates in week two.
“Think I’ve found my person! … I’m going to be taking it exclusive.”
He met her on a dating app.

Pick a matchmaker if
you’d rather stay off the dating apps altogether.
Pick 1% if
you’d like to meet her where she already is, without running the apps on your own.
Key difference 02 · Your photos
We start with your photos.
(how matchmakers usually work; check with any you’re considering)
A matchmaker
Your photos usually stay as they are.
A matchmaker typically introduces you through their own network, with the photos you already have. New photos usually aren’t part of it.
1%
You on a good day, without a photoshoot.
Start from 750+ proven templates. An AI learns your face from your own photos, then makes new photos of you. A real editor works on every photo, with unlimited revisions. Then we write your profile, in your voice.
If a photo doesn’t look like you, it gets redone.

The verdict
Pick a matchmaker if
you already have recent photos you’re happy with.
Pick 1% if
you want her first look at you to be you on a good day.
Key difference 03 · The date
Then someone has to get you to a first date.
A matchmaker
They introduce you.
A matchmaker picks who to introduce, from what you tell them. Their judgement is what you’re hiring.
1%
We do.
We run your apps: we do the swiping and the messaging, and book each date from your brief. Dates go on your calendar, synced so nothing clashes.
Privacy mode lets you approve each match before anyone messages her.
