Millennial Matchmakers: The Taboo App Dating Scene Meets Its Offline Match

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Sept. 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- In a sea of countless dating apps, Millennials' notorious hook-up culture, and a frustrated female demographic, a personal matchmaking company in Beverly Hills run by two 20-something sister Matchmakers, Alessandra Conti and Cristina Conti, has finally cracked the millennial dating code… with an 80% success rate to show for it and over 70% of their database between the ages of 21 to 35.

Entering their third fiscal year of business, the Matchmakers' success margin and virality (20,000+ Twitter Followers) has positioned Matching Up as a pioneer in the Millennial dating market. 

Alessandra Conti, CEO and Matchmaker of Matching Up, explains, "Single people our age, especially women, are generally on dating apps out of exasperation rather than by desire.  In terms of the actual dating web sites, there is still that social taboo for Millennials. When a woman is at a family dinner with her new boyfriend, she is embarrassed to tell her friends and family that she met him on a dating app."

"A couple wants to be able to tell their friends and family that they met each other in a cute way, rather than on a web site," explains Cristina Conti, (Oxford University, M.A.) COO and Matchmaker of Matching Up.  "They want to say, 'My friend Cristina set us up!'"

Based on word of mouth and charging a reasonable fee (Memberships begin at $1,850 for Bachelors and $100 for Bachelorettes), Matchmaking is no longer only for millionaires. 

"I tell our Clients to think of me as a friend who is setting them up with another amazing friend… who just happens to be background checked, social media checked, and has had an in-person interview," says Alessandra. 

Cristina says, "We are matchmaking young people who wouldn't necessarily default to working with a Matchmaker.  Of course, we do get a bunch of celebrities, older clients, and music industry millionaires. We are in Beverly Hills, after all.  We are also working with the average, sweet 'nice guy' who just isn't meeting the type of woman who he can bring home to his mother, at a bar or on an app.  Working with a Matchmaker is like having a doctor, dentist or an accountant... but for your love life."
