Podcast: The Data Science Behind Modern Dating and AI Matchmaking

Posted on March 2, 2026

LINKEDIN – The latest episode of the Harvard Data Science Review Podcast explores how data science shapes modern dating, questioning whether algorithms optimize for lasting relationships or simply user engagement. Host Liberty Vittert Capito and guest co-host Miguel Paredes are joined by Amy Andersen of Linx Dating and Adam Cohen-Aslatei of Three Day Rule Matchmaking to examine the gap between what people say they want and what they need, the limits of swipe-based systems, the value of post-date feedback as data, and whether AI enhances matchmaking or risks oversimplifying human connection.

Dating App Fatigue Drives Women to $150K Matchmaking Services

Posted on February 16, 2026

ELLE – Dating-app fatigue is pushing wealthy women toward high-end matchmaking firms. Cinqe International, MacLynn International, Linx Dating, Ultimate Matchmaker, and invite-only platform Core are some of them, with contracts ~$150K. These services replace swiping with curated vetting, candidate sourcing through networks and recruiters, and ongoing coaching aimed at commitment-ready matches. Demand from women is rising as apps are viewed as inefficient and low-accountability, but matchmakers emphasize effort and compatibility rather than guaranteeing marriage.

Inside the World of Elite Bay Area Matchmaking

Posted on February 14, 2020

Linx dating iconTHE MERCURY NEWS – Feb 14 – Amy Andersen runs Menlo Park-based Linx Dating. Andersen started Linx ~15 years ago, after she grew tired of being a "female player" in San Francisco's Marina dating scene, wondering why it was so hard for smart people to find the right match. Another elite dating app, The Bevy, is not for everyone. Users have to be accepted into the club. Only male clients pay on The Bevy. "What people are really paying for is time," said Talia Goldstein, founder of Three Day Rule. Most of her clients are "working nonstop" in tech and finance and recoil at the thought of spending hours weeding out potential weirdos online, grilling people for their resume on first dates or getting ghosted with no explanation.

Matchmakers Are Doing a Brisk Business Pairing Silicon Valley CEOs With L.A. Ladies

Posted on January 10, 2020

Linx datingLA MAGAZINE – Jan 9 – "About two and a half years ago, I started getting a ton of inquiries from women living in LA trying to find a good, like-minded man," says Amy Andersen, the San Francisco-based matchmaker. Andersen founded her company, Linx Dating, in part to find women for the men of Silicon Valley, who can be peculiar, to say the least. She grew up in nearby Marin County but got into a serious relationship with a "quintessential Silicon Valley geek," to whom she is now married. "I witnessed that there was a huge surplus of eligible men and a dearth of women," she says. According to a recent article in The Washington Post, there are 40% more men than women just in Palo Alto (home to SAP, Tesla, and Hewlett-Packard). In 2018 women held only 20% of all jobs in tech. Talia Goldstein, founder of the L.A.-based matchmaking service Three Day Rule, has paired a number of SoCal women with Silicon Valley men. "The more successful they are, the pickier they get," she says, "especially those techie guys that maybe didn't have all the girls in high school. Now they're really choosy."
