"MarryMe" is a mobile application focused on matching people for serious relationships based on preferences in nationality, religion, social status, education, physical appearance, age and country. The best partner fit is guaranteed by the smart search enforced by the artificial intelligence.

Problem or Opportunity
We have picked an idea to create a platform for people to meet their peers for serious relationships because we have a lot of friends who are single and can't find a couple on the currently existing dating Apps. Firstly, we matched our friends, then they brought their friends and that's how we started growing. The original idea was to match Western men with the Russian speaking women as they consider them as better wifes in general. Then we expanded it to the Middle East as muslims have strict requirements for the future spouse in terms of nationality, religion, social status, education, age and profession and our service was quite helpful in this sense. The project kept growing and reached 6358 users on the platform by March 2019. And at this point we started having problems with the quantity that our platform can't support. Apart from it, it is convenience-wise to transform the platform into an App to make it even easier for people to meet each other.
Solution (product or service)
We want to create a mobile App where people can find the best life partner based on nationality, religion, social status, education, age and profession.
We understand that when people live abroad they still try to build long-lasting relationships with someone of their culture, nationality and religion. In this case, it most likely end up with the marriage. And there are always specific requirements (country, nationality, religion, profession, education and physical appearance) for the partner if people seek life-long relationships. Our smart search, reinforced by the Artificial Intelligence, will do the job for the users and suggest the best fit for them based on appearance of similarity compilation, common interests and culture.
