Once

Once, a mobile dating app that prioritizes quality over quantity, was founded in 2014 and is headquartered in Switzerland. With its tagline, "Once is a mobile dating app that prioritizes quality over quantity, presenting ideal matches daily with a rating feature," the company has positioned itself as a leader in serious mobile dating since October 2015.

Once differentiates itself from others in its industry by eliminating the need for endless swiping. Instead, the app delivers curated, quality matches to users every day at noon, enhancing the meaningfulness of online connections. Its innovative algorithm considers various factors, including preferences and past interactions, ensuring more accurate match suggestions.

Additionally, user safety is a focal point, with a rating feature allowing users to evaluate their dates. Once has successfully amassed over 10 million users across seven countries and raised $9 million to date. The latest funding was a Seed Round investment on 28 January 2019, led by Verve Ventures. This positions Once as a promising opportunity for investors interested in the mobile dating industry.
