The investment round lasted from the end of August 2023 to the fall of 2024, the platform’s CEO clarified. According to Yakovleva, Twinby received investments from the Impact Capital venture fund and a syndicate of investors (she did not specify who was included in it).
In November 2023, Forbes wrote that the dating service raised 150 million rubles from Impact Capital and former InDrive CTO Alexander Burtsev. At that time the company’s valuation was 5 billion rubles. That same month, the platform took first place in popularity in the “Social Networks” category of the Russian App Store.
Twinby entered the Russian market in June 2023. This is a dating service created based on the results of scientific research of the Higher School of Economics of the National Research University. The app selects a match based on people’s psychological compatibility, using artificial intelligence and machine learning methods. According to its own data, the service is currently used by 6.3 million users.
