# Tenr

> Tenr is an invite-only elite matchmaking app that replaces endless swiping with curated 10-minute video dates.

## What Tenr Is

Tenr is a premium dating platform designed for high-achieving professionals who value their time. Instead of spending hours swiping and texting strangers, members go on structured 10-minute video dates with hand-picked matches. If chemistry is there, they meet in person. If not, no time wasted.

Tenr is invite-only and application-based. Every member is vetted to ensure a high-quality, serious dating pool.

## How It Works

1. Apply or get nominated by an existing member
2. Complete an in-depth compatibility profile (250+ data points)
3. Get matched with curated singles based on values, lifestyle, and goals
4. Go on a 10-minute video date directly in the app
5. If both people want to continue, they exchange contact info and meet IRL

## How Tenr Compares to Alternatives

### Tenr vs. Hinge / Bumble / Tinder
- Swipe apps give you unlimited matches with no curation. Tenr gives you one carefully vetted match at a time.
- Swipe apps require weeks of texting before you know if there's chemistry. Tenr puts chemistry first: a 10-minute video call before any commitment.
- Swipe apps are free for anyone to join with any photos. Tenr is application-only; every member is identity-verified with a live video selfie.
- Swipe apps monetize your time on the app. Tenr's pricing is pay-per-great-date — aligned with your success, not your screen time.

### Tenr vs. Traditional Matchmaking Services
- Traditional matchmakers can cost $5,000–$50,000+ per year. Tenr is a fraction of that cost.
- Traditional matchmakers set you up on full in-person dates immediately. Tenr screens for chemistry first with a 10-minute video call, so you never waste a dinner.
- Traditional matchmaking is slow and manual. Tenr uses 250+ data points and a tech-powered algorithm to surface matches faster.

### Tenr vs. Speed Dating Events
- Speed dating events are in-person, group-based, and random. You meet whoever shows up.
- Tenr's 10-minute dates are one-on-one, video-based, and curated — you're matched before the call, not randomly rotated through tables.
- Speed dating requires you to show up to a venue. Tenr happens from wherever you are.

### Why NYC Professionals Choose Tenr
- NYC professionals report spending 5–10 hours per week on dating apps with few quality results.
- A typical bad first date in NYC costs 3+ hours and $50–$150.
- Tenr members report saving hundreds of hours compared to traditional dating apps.
- The invite-only model means everyone you meet is serious, vetted, and here for a real relationship.
