We Believe Technology Should Serve Love
Velle Amori was born from a simple observation: dating apps were great at showing you faces, but terrible at showing you souls. We set out to change that.
Founded in 2022 by Dr. Elena Vasquez, a computational neuroscientist who spent a decade studying how the brain processes romantic connection, Velle Amori combines cutting-edge AI with deep relationship psychology to create matches that actually matter.
A Letter from Our Founder
“When I was researching neural patterns of romantic attachment at MIT, I kept coming back to the same question: if we can map the brain's response to connection, why can't we use that knowledge to help people find it?”
“Velle Amori — from the Latin to wish for love — is my answer to that question. We don't just match on preferences. We match on the deeper patterns that predict real, lasting compatibility.”
