Seeking $600,000 CAD Seed Capital
Building Canada’s compatibility-first dating platform where trust is engineered from the very first interaction.
Dating Has a Trust Problem
Dating platforms have become swipe-driven, engagement-focused, and increasingly vulnerable to fake profiles, bots, romance scams, and AI-generated impersonation. Users want authentic connections, but trust in online dating continues to decline.
HeartLynk’s Solution
HeartLynk is a compatibility-first dating platform that combines:
- Mandatory identity verification
- Video-based liveness validation
- Compatibility-driven matching
- Transparent trust indicators
- Relationship-intent filtering
HeartLynk is designed around verification, compatibility, and relationship intent from inception rather than engagement-driven swiping models.
Why Now
- Global online dating market projected to exceed US$11B by 2028, with increasing demand for verified and trust-based platforms.
- AI-powered identity fraud is accelerating
- User demand for safety and authenticity is growing
- Trust-first positioning remains largely underserved

Revenue Model
Freemium platform with recurring subscription revenue through advanced compatibility analytics, enhanced visibility, and premium matching features. Premium subscriptions, enhanced compatibility analytics, profile boosts, and future trust-verification services.
