How is Known different?

Who is making the actual plan?

We make the date happen

When you and your match are ready to meet, Known finds a time that works for both of you, picks a spot nearby, books the reservation, and sends you the details. We take care of everything so you don’t have to.

Want a date that fits your life?

Your preferences matter.

Your match, preferences, and availability help shape the date. Known looks for a place that fits, not just somewhere to meet.

Still wondering where it’s going?

Meet people looking for what you are

Known is a community of intentional daters who are ready for a real relationship. Whether you’re newly single, divorced, have been dating for a while, or simply ready to find your person - our matchmaker gets to know you and what you’re looking for so we can find the same in the people we introduce you to.

More than a good first photo?

Meet someone chosen for you

There’s a lot about you that could never fit into a dating profile. At Known, we get to know all the little things that make you, you - your quirks, values, aspirations, and what you’re looking for in a relationship. We do the same with your potential matches, so we can introduce you to someone we believe you’ll have real compatibility with.

Too many profiles, not enough possibility?

Dating that cares about your time

Known is searching for your match every day, so you don’t have to spend hours swiping or checking for someone new. When we find someone you want to meet, we plan the date and send you the details. You just have to show up.

Ready to get off the screen?

Skip the pen-pal phase

We believe chemistry is best discovered in person, not over a screen. Known skips the endless small talk and conversations that go nowhere, so you can see if there’s a spark in person. Once you both say yes to an introduction, Known finds a time that works and plans the date. Save the real getting-to-know-you part for when you meet.

Known vs Jaumo

The starting point

Jaumo combines dating with interest-based communities and friendship discovery.

Known starts with a conversation about your values, preferences and relationship goals.

Getting to know someone

Members can explore communities organized around shared backgrounds, values and lifestyles.

When both people want to meet, Known helps plan the date and its practical details.

Your phone

Known is available on iOS and Android, so you can choose the same matchmaking service on either phone.

I met my love, her name was Judith, On Known, where something real felt right. Not swipes, not likes, not small talk fading, Just one conversation changed my life. Built on knowing us first, not rushing, It led to something real and true. No game, no gamble, just real life, And somehow Known led me to you.

How Known Works

A little more personal.

Swipeless dating.

You don't browse people. You're introduced to them.

Known starts by getting to know you. Not just your profile, but how you think, what you value, and who you're drawn to.

From there, we introduce you to one person at a time. Someone chosen with intention. Someone worth meeting.

No endless options. No small talk.

If there's mutual interest, we set the date. Time, place, everything handled. All you have to do is show up.

It gets better over time.

After each date, Known learns. What felt right. What didn't. What surprised you.

So every introduction becomes more accurate. More natural. More you.

Less searching. More knowing.

Some of our favorite places

Where Known dates take place

The boarding pier at Coronado Ferry Landing

Downtown / San Diego

Coronado Ferry

Skip the bridge and make getting to Coronado part of the date. The ferry ride from downtown takes about 15 minutes, with views of the bay and skyline along the way.

LOQUAT

Hayes Valley / San Francisco

LOQUAT

Loquat’s Gough Street bakery is a small daytime stop centered on Jewish-diaspora baking. Try the kubaneh, a Yemenite bread that makes a good centerpiece for a shared breakfast.

Bar Bibi

Russian Hill / San Francisco

Bar Bibi

Chef Bahman Safari opened Bar Bibi last year in Russian Hill, turning a two-story corner space into a cozy neighborhood wine bar. For a date, the pillow-lined nooks tucked against the windows make for an intimate spot to settle in over a bottle.
