✨ New Feature

Two ways to find
love.

Not everyone on Penguin is here to date. Some join because they know exactly who needs to meet who.

The Classic🙋

I'm looking for someone

  • One match at a time — no endless scrolling
  • Stay anonymous until you both choose to reveal
  • Built for people serious about actually meeting
✨ New — Matchmaker🤝

I want to set up my friends

  • Invite two single friends you think would click
  • Set them up as a match — you make the call
  • They go on a blind date. You made it happen.
The problem

Dating apps profit from your loneliness.

“Dating apps made $6 billion last year. Not from people who found love. From people who stayed.”

The Penguin Manifesto

Over 350 million people are on dating apps right now. More than half of all adults under 30. In Canada alone, 42% of the population is single — and most of them are on the apps. Billions of swipes happen every single day.

And yet, less than a third of users ever go on a first date. Less than a quarter ever find a real relationship. Hundreds of millions of people, all looking for the same thing, and most of them finding nothing.
