The League operates a mobile dating app for ambitious, career-focused singles. Users apply for admission and are screened with LinkedIn and Facebook data, creating a waitlist with about 20–30% acceptance. After acceptance, users receive a limited set of daily matches at 5 p.m. and access tiered subscriptions (Member, Owner, VIP) plus à la carte League Tickets. Acquired by Match Group in 2022 for around $30 million, the platform emphasizes selective matchmaking and a curated community, and now offers features like video speed dating, interest groups, and GoalMates to connect people by shared life goals.

  • Users receive only 3-5 curated matches daily at 5 p.m. to reduce swiping fatigue.
  • GoalMates feature matches on shared ambitions from 100+ goal options.
