About MatchPulse

We believe every person deserves to love and be loved with full clarity about who they are in a relationship.

Team meeting

Born in Chicago, Built for the World

MatchPulse started in 2019 when two relationship psychologists — tired of generic compatibility apps — decided to build something truly grounded in science.

We spent 18 months reviewing over 600 peer-reviewed studies before writing a single line of code. The result is a quiz engine that actually reflects how humans connect — messily, beautifully, and deeply.

Today, over 2 million people across 180 countries have used MatchPulse to gain clarity about their relationships. We're based in Chicago, IL, and proud to be a team that practices what we measure.
