Highly selective dating platform the 'Inner Circle' is targeted exclusively at ambitious singles.
The 'Inner Circle' reviews users' LinkedIn profiles prior to confirming the creation of an account. The platform is aimed at elites who are looking for dates with other success-oriented people. The 'Inner Circle' differs from Tindr and Bumble because it allows users to share more information. Users can arrange meetups at high-end venues that are hosted by the service every month or can let members in other cities know if they'll be traveling soon.
The dating service launched in Berlin and already has thousands of users in Europe, and will be debuting in the US in the fall. The 'Inner Circle' has drawn in people from with backgrounds in design, startups, marketing and architecture.
