About Inner Circle

Inner Circle is a dating app built on the contrarian belief: opposites don't attract. The best connections happen between people who already live life the same way. So we don't sell more options, or better odds. We sell relevance, people worth dating. Every member is screened, so effort and intention are in place before anyone gets in. And where every other app is built to keep you swiping, ours is built to get you off it, and onto a date with someone worth your time.

At Inner Circle, we embrace our diverse community and team. We celebrate differences and know that they are key for helping us grow. Our team consists of 40 team members, with 16 nationalities and a female: male ratio of 60 : 40. Whatever your race, religion, colour, gender, national origin, political affiliation, sexual orientation, marital status, disability or age, we make sure everyone has the space to be themselves.
