Three Day Rule Expands To Seattle

Posted on May 6, 2018

Threedayrule logo wideGEEKWIRE – May 4 – Three Day Rule (TDR) expanded to its tenth city. TDR combines technology with in-person vetting, said Talia Goldstein, who founded the company in 2013. "We meet all of our matches in person, so we're making curated introductions based on off-paper qualities rather than on-paper stats," she explained. Anyone can sign up to become part of TDR's database, which includes 100K members, and be eligible to be matched to paying clients. A paid membership starts at $4,500 for a three-month package and includes vetted matches, professional photography, post-date feedback, and coaching. TDR has raised $2.4M to date. Goldstein said TDR doubled revenue in 2017 and has ~50 matchmakers nationwide, including two in Seattle.

Young Single Americans Are Confused And Scared About Dating During #Metoo

Posted on February 28, 2018

Threedayrule logoMARKETWATCH – Feb 27 – #MeToo, a movement meant to highlight women's experiences with sexual assault and unwanted sexual advances, have put a damper on the dating experience. Single Americans say they are "extremely confused" about dating now, a recent survey of 3K singletons by dating service Three Day Rule found. Men are concerned about crossing boundaries, having their actions misinterpreted, or even adhering to traditional gender roles like paying for a date, said Three Day Rule CEO and founder Talia Goldstein. Meanwhile, some women said they were too worn out by inappropriate behavior or triggered by the news to want to spend time with men, and some worry about how and when to call out men they're dating for harassment.

The World Of Modern Matchmaking

Posted on September 8, 2017

Threedayrule logo wideINSIDER – Sep 8 – Modern matchmaking companies like Tawkify, OkSasha, and Three Day Rule are reinventing an old tradition. They use technology like algorithms, but also emphasize the importance of in-person connections. Tawkify is a network of "dating concierges" that runs extensive data analyses on every date they arrange whose services range from $99 to $6K per year. Sasha Silberberg, founder of Bay Area matchmaking company OkSasha, began filling up her "match book" catalogue of singles while working as a Lyft driver. Silberberg, who declined to share her rate but reportedly charges $1K or more for a range of services, believes that meeting in person is crucial both for her as a matchmaker to get a feel for her clients, and for the clients themselves to assess someone's compatibility based on more than a short profile. Talia Goldstein got her start as a matchmaker by planning singles events. When they began to draw crowds of over 600 people in LA, she left her job as producer at E! Entertainment in 2013 to found Three Day Rule and pursue matchmaking full-time. Three Day Rule uses facial recognition software to determine someone's type. They ask clients to submit photos of their exes and run the images through their database in search of matches with similar facial structures.
