Boardroom

Boardroom is a dating app that matches people on career and professional compatibility instead of the usual photo-swiping routine. The pitch is simple enough: pair up people in similar industries or with shared ambitions, on the theory that you’ll have more to talk about than which filter you used on your profile pic. It turned up in our October 2023 dating app roundup as one of several apps trying to rework the matching algorithm around something other than looks. It’s aimed at professionals who want partners that get the long hours and the LinkedIn grind without needing it spelled out, which is either a clever niche or a recipe for talking shop on every date, depending on how you feel about that.
