FAQ
-
Our clients are primarily Bay Area executives, founders, and driven professionals who value their time and are ready to be intentional about their dating lives.
No, you don’t need an Ivy League degree to work with us. We do have deep roots in Ivy League and top MBA alumni communities, and many clients come through those networks, but what matters most is that you’re accomplished, emotionally healthy, and serious about finding a real partnership.
-
Our deepest network is in the San Francisco Bay Area, and many clients live and work here. We also run VIP searches nationwide for clients whose lives span multiple cities or who are open to relocating for the right partner. For those searches, we combine our own database with a vetted network of matchmakers across the U.S. and internationally. On your consultation call, we’ll talk through your locations, travel patterns, and flexibility to make sure our reach is a strong fit for your search.
-
There’s a significant difference in commitment and priority. As a private client, you work closely with Shannon and our team on a high‑touch, personalized search strategy. We design and run a curated campaign on your behalf, prepare you for each introduction, and stay closely involved throughout the process.
As a complimentary member of Shannon’s Circle, you’re part of our broader database. You may be considered as a potential match when we’re conducting searches for private clients. If there appears to be strong alignment, we’ll reach out to confirm you’re single and open to an introduction. There is never a fee to be in our Circle or to be matched with a private client. -
Yes. We work with both men and women as private clients. The exact mix shifts over time, but we typically have both male and female clients in active searches, and we don’t see a meaningful difference in outcomes by gender. What predicts success is mindset and engagement, not whether you’re a man or a woman.
-
For women, hiring a matchmaker does not make you the “pursuer.” Think of us like an executive search firm for your love life: you’re not chasing candidates; you’re being intentional about who’s even at the table. The men you meet are highly vetted matches who have already agreed they’re interested in meeting you. Every introduction is a mutual, warm introduction between two equals. Working with us upgrades the quality of who you meet.
