Traditional matchmakers charge thousands and hand you a stranger. Swipe apps hand you an endless feed and hope you give up and pay. Nonna does the actual matchmaking — scoring real compatibility and hand-picking introductions — for free.
A 99-question model across values, lifestyle, and personality — the things that actually predict whether two people work — not just photos.
Nonna hand-selects two high-compatibility introductions for you every week, so you’re not endlessly swiping. Quality over a bottomless feed.
We run real singles events across NYC so your matches aren’t just a chat thread — they’re someone you meet in the same room.
New York has two kinds of dating: pay a matchmaker thousands of dollars for a handful of introductions, or download a swipe app that profits every time you don’t find anyone. Nonna is a third option. It does the thing a great matchmaker does — understand who you are and introduce you to people you’re genuinely compatible with — and does it for everyone, for free, at the scale of a whole city.
It starts with the quiz. When you create your free account, you answer questions across three areas — values and relationship vision, life foundations, and personality and communication. Nonna scores your compatibility with every other member on those answers, not on a headshot. You can browse the people you match with at your own pace, or let Nonna hand-pick: every week it curates two high-compatibility introductions just for you. Curious how the scoring works under the hood? Read about our AI matchmaker, or test your compatibility with someone in two minutes.
A match you never meet is just a pen pal. That’s why Nonna pairs its matchmaking with real singles events across NYC, where the people you’re compatible with are in the same room on the same night. It’s the difference between a chat thread that fizzles and an actual first impression. You can see what’s coming up and RSVP as soon as you join.
Nonna is free to join and inclusive by default — for singles of every race, religion, nationality, and culture, looking for everything from something serious to simply meeting someone real. No five-figure fee, no bottomless feed. Just real matchmaking for New York, and events that get you off the app and into the room.
Traditional matchmakers can cost several thousand dollars and rely on one person’s intuition and a small client list. Nonna scores compatibility across 99 questions for everyone on the platform, curates two matches a week for you, and is free to join — with real events so you actually meet.
Joining, matching, and messaging are free during our founding period. There are optional premium features, but the core matchmaking — compatibility scoring and your weekly curated picks — is free.
No. Nonna is inclusive of every intention — serious relationships, dating, or simply meeting compatible people. Compatibility matching just means the people you meet are a genuine fit for what you’re looking for.
As soon as you finish the quiz, your compatibility scores are live and you can browse your matches. Nonna’s hand-picked introductions arrive weekly, and you can RSVP to NYC events right away.
