About be2
be2 is an online matchmaking service designed for individuals seeking serious, long-term relationships. The company was founded in Germany in 2004 by Robert Wuttke and Andreas Etten and has since expanded its operations globally, with a headquarters in Luxembourg. The service is available in 37 countries and serves a user base of over 30 million singles. The core of be2's offering is a scientific, algorithm-based approach to matchmaking. Upon registration, users complete a detailed personality questionnaire that analyzes psychological, anthropological, and sociological criteria to determine compatibility. The platform then uses this personality profile to provide members with a curated list of suitable partner suggestions. This methodology targets a user demographic that is typically between 30 and 49 years old and is focused on finding a lasting partnership rather than casual dating. The business operates on a freemium model. Users can register, create a profile, and take the personality test for free. However, to access premium features such as sending unlimited messages and viewing profile photos, a paid subscription is required. The company's revenue in 2023 was reported to be approximately €28.2 million. be2 has received funding from investors including Index Ventures and Banexi Ventures. be2 is part of a group of internet companies managed by the shared service center insparx GmbH, which is based in Munich. It also maintains a significant operational and development hub in Yerevan, Armenia, under be2 LLC. The company has faced some controversy regarding its matching system and subscription cancellation policies but has since made changes to address these issues.
