Profile introduction
Source excerptLinkedIn [2]

I’m building Hunch to make dating intentional again. Instead of swiping through photos, Hunch matches people on how they think—using personality signals, polls, and AI to surface real compatibility. We’ve grown to 2.4M+ users, launched verified profiles for safety, and ship weekly improvements across the funnel, pricing, and Hunch+. I lead growth, brand, and US go-to-market. Before Hunch, I co-founded PlotX (raised $2.4M) and led product marketing at Somish Blockchain Labs. Talk to me about positioning, making creatives that convert, and anything growth marketing!
