Our Belief

At Amata, we believe that we — humans — are not the best to decide who we should go on a date with. Because attraction — especially based on pictures — and compatibility are two different things, and our brain isn't wired to tell them apart.

We've been swiping for fifteen years. We've optimized our profiles, refined our bios, and curated our best photos. We've made checklists of what we want. And yet, here we are.

The problem was never the apps. It was never the swipe. It was us.

The data is brutal: research shows that what people say they want in a partner has almost nothing to do with who they actually fall for. Chemistry doesn't live in a photo. Compatibility doesn't reveal itself in a bio. Both only emerge in person — across from someone you might never have chosen based on a picture.

So why keep swiping and chatting for hours when you could go on a date tomorrow with someone worth meeting?

Amata takes the choice away — on purpose — with an AI trained on thousands of real dates, real debriefs, and real connections. An AI that knows you better than your checklist does.

This takes courage. It means letting go of control. It means trusting a process over your swiping instincts.

But every great love story starts with a leap.

Be foolish. Fall in love.

"Sometimes, you've got to let a good surprise happen"

Lilly, art director, Greenpoint

"I would never have swiped right on him. Wrong industry, not my usual type at all. We've been together four months. I genuinely don't know what I was doing before."

Sarah L.

34 · Marketing Director, NYC

"The debrief after date two was a turning point. The AI asked me something I'd never asked myself. By date four I finally understood why every relationship had ended the same way."

Marcus K.

38 · Architect, NYC

"I'm a planner. I research everything. Showing up not knowing who was sitting there was the scariest thing I've done. Also the best. We're planning a trip to Portugal next month."

Jade P.

31 · Consultant, NYC

"I realized I'd spent years describing my ex when asked what I was looking for. Blind Tuesdate helped me figure out what I actually wanted for the first time."

Thomas R.

29 · Product Manager, NYC

"Even on the way there I was ready to quit. Then I walked in. We talked for four hours. That was eight months ago and I've never looked back."

Daniel W.

41 · Entrepreneur, NYC

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Amata?
Amata is a matchmaking app that organizes thousands of dates across the US every month. Backed by $15M from leading US and European venture capital firms, Amata is redefining how people meet — replacing endless swiping with an AI matchmaker that does the choosing for you.
Who are the founders?
Amata was created by three serial entrepreneurs including Ludovic Huraux. Ludovic built one of the largest dating platforms in France back in 2007, generating more than one wedding every day. He is also an early investor in Hugging Face, one of the largest AI companies in the world.
What's the difference between the Amata app and Tomorrow?
Tomorrow is a different experience entirely. While the Amata app is already more curated than anything else on the market, Tomorrow goes further — a fully blind format, a more personalized AI matching process, and a concept built around one simple idea: sign up today, go on a date tomorrow. No browsing, no planning, no swiping. Just show up.
Where are the dates organized?
We handpick bars across New York City that are warm, intimate, and conducive to real conversation. All venues serve both alcoholic and soft drinks. Every spot is vetted by our team, and we always make sure the venue works for both of you geographically. You'll receive the name and address the morning of your date, along with your match's first name and a compatibility note.
Why don't I get to see who I'm meeting?
Because photos are where most bad decisions happen in dating. People decline matches they'd have loved in real life, because a photo didn't match their imagined "type." Removing that variable is the whole point. Your AI matchmaker takes your physical preferences into account — among many other signals — to find someone genuinely compatible.
What if I'm just not attracted to the person?
That's exactly the feedback your AI matchmaker needs. After every date, it asks you what happened — not just "did you like them," but deeper. Every honest debrief sharpens the next match. The conversation after the date is just as important as the date itself.
How can you make sure the matching is good enough?
Our AI was trained on thousands of real dates and post-date conversations through the Amata app. If your compatibility score with a potential match is below 75%, we won't send you on that date — we'll find someone better. Tomorrow only opens new spots when we can guarantee the quality of the match.
What happens if I need to cancel?
Life happens. Cancel with more than 24 hours' notice and we'll find you another date. Cancel last minute, and that date is forfeited. No-shows are removed from Tomorrow entirely. These rules exist to protect the person waiting for you at the table.
How do you ensure the dates are safe?
Feeling nervous before a blind date is normal. Here's how we make sure you feel safe:

· All members are screened and verified before joining
· Dates take place in safe, welcoming venues
· No-shows are immediately banned
· Post-date debriefs are reviewed to flag any concerns
· A dedicated support team is available at any time
Is Tomorrow available outside New York?
Not yet. We're launching in NYC first, with new cities planned as we grow. Request an invite and we'll notify you when Tomorrow comes to your city.

Free Tuesday night?

Request an invite. We'll take it from there.
