Overtone

Overtone is not a dating app. By that I mean it’s not a social platform with profiles that reduce people to stats, quotes and photos. There are no opaque, algorithmic feeds trained on split-second impulses. And there’s no juggling likes, matches and chats across many people at once. Overtone is a service. We get to know each person deeply, learning about them in their own voice, hearing their own unique story. That’s where our name comes from. In music, overtones are the subtle frequencies that give a sound its richness. Two instruments can play the same note and sound completely different because of their overtones. The same goes with people. On paper, thousands might look like a good match for you. In reality, compatibility lives in the nuance. And we make only the introductions that are worth making, grounded in relationship science and thoughtful reflection. We transparently explain why we believe someone is a great match. And we leave it up to our daters to meet in person and discover chemistry, with guidance along the way. We know from research that instinct and attraction are impossible to fully predict, and we know that the magic of connection only happens in person. We simply believe in solving for what can be solved for, removing the noise, and letting you focus on finding that magic with people you’re most likely to be compatible with long-term. The service will be available later this year in select locations. In the meantime, I’ll leave you with this: who we choose to build a life with shapes our happiness more than almost anything else. That choice is too important to be left to chance, and too personal to be left to a swipe. We’re building Overtone to give it the care it deserves.
