The service currently employs a team of 120 matchmakers that trawl through member profiles to create combinations; a single handpicked match is then offered for users to like or dislike each day. The company’s-employees choose prospective suitors based on profile history, such as previous matches. Once founder and CEO, Jean Meyer, says the service offers a relaxed dating option. “[Other] dating platforms are too complex, aimed toward an older demographic, or…focused on casual dating and hook ups,” Meyer told TechCrunch. Meyer claims that his app’s single daily match-up methodology and human (and hormonal) heart-rate feature sets it apart from the pack. A U.S. launch date for the app has not been disclosed. Fitness fans who like the sound of Once can also seek out Sweatt, a dating app for regular gym-goers that launched in December.
