Datamatch
matchmaking 40,000 students
check it out

Datamatch is a project I joined as a freshman and ran as a junior and senior. 2020 being its 25th anniversary, Datamatch matched 40,000 students on Valentine's day at over 26 colleges, including the entire Ivy league (we don't speak of Cornell). At Harvard, its origin, Datamatch captures over 70% of the entire undergrad campus every year. You can learn more about Datamatch in our video interview and press coverage at The Harvard Gazette, The Crimson, The Daily Princetonian, The Daily Pennsylvanian, The Dartmouth, The Student Life to name a few.
The premise is 1 week before Valentine's day, Datamatch sends out our humurous survey, each college with its own unique survey produced by our local ambassador, and people fill it out and are matched with potential love interests on Valentine's day. At some schools, like Harvard, we'll actually sponsor a date to entice you to go meet your match.
During my time as Supreme Cupid, I grew the user base from 25,000 to 40,000 users, cut down dev costs from ~$1500 to about $20, led the full site rebuild from the ground up to React/Firebase stack as well as the visual design overhaul, and found outside sponsors that totaled over $10,000.
