"The reason you're still single isn't the apps. It's that you've been choosing the wrong people — and no one ever told you."

Ludovic Huraux, Co-founder of Amata

Every app gives you more choices. Amata takes the choice away — on purpose. We believe a deeply informed AI, trained on real compatibility signals and honest date debriefs, is better at deciding who you should meet than you are. Not because you're flawed. Because attraction — especially based on pictures — and compatibility are two different things, and your brain isn't wired to tell them apart.

The science behind it

Your brain isn't wired to choose the right person.

This isn't an opinion. It's peer-reviewed research.

In 2024, UC Davis professor Paul Eastwick led a team of 70 researchers across a worldwide study of 10,358 people to answer one question: do people's stated partner preferences actually predict who they fall for?

The answer was clear: almost never.

The traits people list as must-haves barely move the needle in real relationships. What actually drives attraction only reveals itself in person, through real interaction. Not through a profile. Not through a photo.

How it works

Six weeks. 6 blind dates. One spark guaranteed.

Every step is designed to get better as it goes — the more you debrief, the smarter your matches get.

1
Before you begin
Commit to the program

Pay $120 upfront and choose 6 Tuesdays from 9 available slots. No browsing profiles, no swiping, no second-guessing. You just trust the process.

2
Day 1 - 3
Three days of AI coaching

Your AI matchmaker gets to know you — your history, personality, goals, and what truly matters. This isn't a questionnaire. It's a conversation. It will also show you photos of participants in the program to understand your physical preferences. By day three, it understands what you really need in your love life better than most of your friends do.

3
Every Tuesday at 8pm
Your blind date

You don't know who you're meeting. You don't see a photo. You show up to a table we've booked and meet someone your AI matchmaker selected specifically for you. The evening before, we send one message sharing their name, the place, your compatibility score, and a fun anecdote you both relate to.

4
Wednesday morning
The debrief that improves everything

After each date, your AI asks you what happened. Not just "did you like them" — it goes deeper. Every debrief sharpens the next match. By date three, your matchmaker knows things about your chemistry that most people don't for themselves. If you don't have a mutual spark after our 6 blind dates series, we rematch you until you do.

5
After the program
Join the Amata community

Become a member of the Amata Matchmaking Club — monthly matchmaking events, ongoing AI coaching, and a community of people who date the same way you now do.

Our promise

No app has ever guaranteed you anything. We do.

At least one mutual spark out of your six dates. Or we keep going.

Complete 5 of your 6 scheduled dates and we guarantee that at least one match will want to see you again — and so will you. If that doesn't happen, we rematch you at no extra cost, up to 12 blind dates total.

Warranty Certificate

The commitment

This works because everyone plays by the same rules.

Amata is a community of intentional daters who want to reshape the modern dating culture. The quality of your experience depends on everyone's commitment.

Cancellations

Cancel with 24+ hours notice and we'll rematch you — up to three times. A fourth cancellation counts as last-minute.

Last-minute cancel

Cancelling under 24 hours forfeits that date slot. It's part of the commitment you made to your match.

No-shows

Not showing up means immediate removal from the program, with no refund. This protects everyone in the community.

The debrief

After each date, your AI matchmaker needs to hear from you. Honest debriefs make every next match better — for you and others.

Pricing

One simple price.

Everything included. No hidden fees. Just show up.

From the community

What our members say.

From people who stopped swiping and started trusting.

"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 Amata."

SL
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 I'd had in my 30s had ended the same way."

MK
Marcus K.
38 · Architect, NYC

"I'm a planner. I research everything. Showing up to a table 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."

JP
Jade P.
31 · Consultant, NYC

"The 3 days of free coaching alone were worth it. I realized I'd spent years describing my ex when asked what I was looking for. Amata helped me figure out what I actually wanted for the first time."

TR
Thomas R.
29 · Product Manager, NYC

"Date seven was it. Two completely different worlds. The AI saw something in both of us we couldn't see ourselves. I triggered the guarantee — Amata kept going, no questions asked. Worth every penny."

AN
Amara N.
36 · Attorney, NYC

"I was skeptical the whole way through. Even on the way to date three 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."

Questions

The things people always ask.

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 this program?
The Amata Blind Dates program is a different experience entirely. While the Amata app is already more curated than anything else on the market, this program goes further — a fully blind format, a more personalized matching process, and a new AI system built specifically around deeper compatibility signals. Think of it as Amata's most premium offering, designed for people who are ready to fully trust the process.
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, so you're comfortable whatever your preference. 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 evening before your date, along with your match's first name and a compatibility note.
Why is it not free?
Because skin in the game changes everything. When both you and your match have paid for the program, you both show up — physically and emotionally. Free dating apps create a low-stakes environment where ghosting, last-minute cancellations, and half-hearted effort are the norm. Amata Blind Dates is built on the opposite principle: commitment from day one, on both sides of the table. The fee is also what allows us to curate the community, promote the program, and guarantee the quality of your experience. For context, a traditional matchmaker offering a similar service would charge upwards of $6,000. We built Amata to make that level of matchmaking accessible to everyone.
Why don't I get to see who I'm meeting?
Because photos are where most of bad decisions happen in online 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. And no worries, your AI matchmaker will take into account your physical preferences among many other criteria determining your real compatibility for a meaningful relationship.
What if I'm just not attracted to the person?
That's exactly the data your AI matchmaker needs. Tell it everything in the debrief — what you felt, what you noticed, what surprised you. Every piece of honest feedback calibrates the next match. The debrief is not just a courtesy — it's the engine of the whole program.
How can you make sure the matching is good enough?
Our AI was trained on thousands of dates and date debriefs organized through the Amata app. If your compatibility score is below 75% for a scheduled date, we'll skip that week and rematch you the following one — you'll be notified at least 24 hours in advance. This will be rare: Amata Blind Dates is an exclusive program and we only open new spots when we can guarantee the quality of your matches.
How does the guarantee actually work?
Complete at least 5 of your 6 scheduled dates. If none of them result in both people wanting a second date, Amata continues organizing blind dates for you at no charge — up to 12 total. A "mutual spark" means you both shared you want to meet again in your post-date debrief.
What happens if I need to cancel a date?
Life happens. Cancel with more than 24 hours' notice and we'll reschedule your match — you can do this three times during the program. Cancel with less than 24 hours, and that date is forfeited. If you no-show without any notice, you're removed from the program. These rules exist to protect the person waiting for you at the table.
How do you ensure that the blind dates are safe?
Feeling a little nervous before a blind date is completely normal. Amata has been carefully designed so you feel comfortable and safe from the very first date. Here's how we make that happen:

· All members are screened and manually verified by our moderation team before joining the program
· Dates take place in safe, welcoming venues where staff ensures everything runs smoothly
· Accounts of members who don't show up are banned from the program
· Both you and your match pay upfront for the program, ensuring everyone is genuinely committed to showing up
· Date debriefs are automatically reviewed to make sure everything went well and flag any concerns
· A dedicated support team available at any time and quick to respond
Is the Amata Blind Dates Program available outside New York?
Not yet. We're launching in NYC first, with new cities planned once we've run and refined the first cohorts. Join the waitlist and we'll notify you when your city is live.
