About Linx Dating
Linx Dating is a matchmaking service based in Menlo Park, California. Its founder is Amy Andersen, who has worked as a matchmaker in Silicon Valley for 23 years. According to Bloomberg, she finds matches at events, online and on social media, and from a proprietary database of about 25,000 eligible singles. Services include image consulting, professional photo shoots and coaching before and after dates. Her clients are men and women aged 20 to 75.
A KCBS Radio segment from Audacy says the service charges $75,000 to $500,000 for membership. The top of that range is not new: CNBC reported in 2017 that Andersen's top clients paid $100,000 to $500,000. Business Insider reported around August 2025 that Bay Area matchmaker fees range from $5,900 to $500,000, with most around $100,000, and that Andersen works with fewer than 10 people at a time.
On 15 October 2026 Bloomberg published a feature headlined The AI Boom Is Creating a New Market for $500,000 Matchmakers, centred on Andersen. She says demand has grown sharply and attributes it largely to wealth from the AI boom, including clients from companies such as Perplexity, Anthropic and Nvidia. Dating Industry Insights notes that this rests on a matchmaker's own account and that app data does not show users switching to matchmakers.
