Posted on February 15, 2024

MatchmakingCHANNEL NEWS ASIA – In Singapore, dating agencies are seeing a rise in demand, particularly from younger singles in their early 20s seeking a more curated approach to finding a partner. Agencies like GaiGai and Lunch Actually have noticed an increase in clients looking for serious relationships, with some even considering marriage. Additionally, there's a growing interest from older singles in their 50s to 70s seeking a second chance at love. The trend towards professional matchmaking is driven by disillusionment with online dating apps and the desire for a safer, more personalized dating experience.

The Founding Story of Paktor

Posted on December 12, 2018

Paktor logo new jan 16ENTREPRENEUR – Dec 11 – Paktor, best-known as a Tinder rival in Asia, was launched in June 2013. Since then, the app has launched in 12 countries, including Japan, Taiwan, Singapore, Indonesia, and Hong Kong. It secured funding from investors like Yahoo Japan-affiliate YJ Capital and Singapore's Vertex Ventures. The founders of Paktor are primary school classmates – Joseph Phua and Ng Jing Shen. After completing his MBA from University of Chicago's Booth School of Business, Joseph returned to Asia to start Paktor. The app, however, couldn't handle the high volume of users and crashed. He then reached out to Jing Shen, a University of Michigan graduate, for help, who at that time was working with Amazon as a software engineer and was a part of the team that re-architected one of the world’s first cloud computing services, S3. Today, Paktor has 15M users. In 2014, the founders launched its offline dating counterpart, GaiGai which specializes in matchmaking via its in-house matching system and personalization.
