What is Hunch?
Hunch is a dating app built for follow-through - designed to turn mutual interest into a real first date instead of another chat thread that fizzles out. Built for people tired of mindless swiping and commodified matchmaking, Hunch uses an AI matchmaker to cut the week of back-and-forth and get two interested people out of the app and into the same room.
With 2.4M+ daters, 1.47M+ dates planned, and 100% photo-verified profiles, Hunch is growing fast in the US by challenging the swipe-left/right norm of traditional apps. Hunch is a Series A funded ($23 Million) startup building the future of social discovery in a post-AI world.
