Our Mission

want is for those who crave more: more honesty, more intention, more real connections. We are not about endless swiping or surface-level chats.

We are here for people who treasure their time and energy, using thoughtful tech to spark meaningful introductions. It is all about the human touch, helping you find folks who get you, share your values, and are ready for the connection you are seeking, whether it is romantic, platonic, or social. We are building a space where you can be you, and others will love that about you.

Before diving in, everyone goes through a quick ID and AML check with Sumsub to keep our community safe and real. Do not worry, we have got you covered!

How want works?

want is built for deeper connection. Beyond swipes and surface profiles, we help you find what (and who) you truly want.

Onboarding with Intention

Every real connection begins with knowing yourself. Onboarding in want is not about ticking boxes. It is a guided flow of thoughtful questions that help you pause, reflect, and share what really matters: your values, your interests, your pace, and more. This is the first step toward finding your person with intention.

Trust, before anything

Before your first introduction you complete a quick check with our partner Sumsub. A liveness check and ID upload confirm that people are who they say they are. We cover the cost because trust is the base of every connection.

Understand the why before the who

We never serve matches for the sake of it. Every introduction begins with why we matched you. A short story rooted in what we believe could spark connection between you both: your values, your interests, your pace, and more. It is context, not chance. Care, not algorithms. Take a look at the types of matches below.

Location icon with heart

Core

You share strong alignment in values and outlook. Conversations between you should feel natural, easy and genuine.

Puzzle piece

Compatibilty

You have different perspectives, but there’s real potential. With curiosity and openness, this could grow into something meaningful.

Wildcard

Not the most obvious match, but there’s a spark worth exploring.
Sometimes the best connections come from surprise.

Hear them before you see them

If you both want to continue, you will answer the same question with a voice note linked to your why. Voice brings the why to life. You hear someone’s intent, their energy, their tone, things that words and photos alone cannot show.

The reveal, when it matters

If you both choose to continue, one photo is revealed with a prompt to spark your first exchange. As you connect, more of each profile unlocks gradually. The reveal is earned, not rushed. This is connection built step by step, with space to breathe.

Keep the rhythm alive

Each connection moves with intention. You have 72 hours to reply at each stage, which helps conversations stay active and present. If no action is taken the introduction closes naturally, keeping energy fresh and protecting the flow for both people. If you'd rather close the introduction, you can let us know why so we can improve our matching.
