Startup Keeper asserts that it leverages AI technology to assist users in discovering their "soulmates," and it will honestly inform users if no suitable match is found. Since its inception, the platform has attracted over 1.5 million registrations, with roughly 300,000 users fully setting up their accounts. Additionally, a "limited number" of users have successfully found their matches. At present, the platform caters exclusively to heterosexual users and implements a sophisticated fee system, where only male users are charged. Male participants are obligated to sign a "marriage bounty agreement," under which they typically receive a $50,000 bounty upon a successful marriage. Each date incurs a cost of $5,000, which can be subtracted from the bounty. The initial account registration process is somewhat intricate, requiring users to fill out an initial questionnaire, followed by 13 additional steps. AI is instrumental in the analysis phase, though human matchmakers continue to play a role in the matching process. Once a match is made, both individuals can initiate contact through text messages.
