    dating-platform

    Mattr is the world's first neurodivergent-friendly dating platform launched in 2022 by founder Jamie Johnston, who created the app based on personal ADHD experiences and frustration with traditional dating apps' accessibility barriers for neurodivergent users. The platform employs personality-led matching delivering seven curated daily matches drawn from diverse interest profiles rather than algorithmic preference replication based on user swipe behavior patterns.

    Mattr's feature set includes optional neurodiversity status disclosure enabling users to self-identify and seek compatible partners, daily mental health check-ins supporting emotional regulation, video response capability for users struggling with typing, voice-activated text reading for those with reading challenges, and proprietary 'Honesty Box' functionality enabling users to proactively share thoughts, feelings, relationship preferences, and red flags. The platform serves London-based users with 1,200 active members achieved during first operational year.

    Revenue model combines freemium core access with Mattr Club premium membership providing access to London's premium venues and in-person events curated for authentic connection. Business model targets underserved neurodivergent demographic experiencing high frustration with mainstream dating apps. Current status reflects foundational London market establishment with expansion plans targeting additional cities with significant neurodivergent populations.
