About

eÇift is an online platform focused on creating meaningful relationships through high-quality matchmaking services, utilizing a scientific approach to pairing individuals based on compatibility. Founded in 2009 and headquartered in Istanbul, Turkey, eÇift specializes in serious matchmaking services. The company was established to connect individuals seeking committed relationships and has conducted 3 significant deals. In December 2011, eÇift raised EUR 3 million in a GROWTH funding round from 3TS Capital Partners and the European Investment Fund, marking a pivotal moment in its financial trajectory.


eÇift offers a scientifically designed matchmaking methodology called the Ideal Couple Method, leveraging personality analysis tests to assess user compatibility. This platform allows users to create detailed profiles that are matched against a representative sample of the population, identifying potential partners based on shared traits. The service is particularly aimed at educated singles in Turkey, with an expanding international user base. The revenue model of eÇift is subscription-based, where users can access premium features after a free registration.


This model allows for enhanced functionalities such as personalized matches and improved profile visibility, encouraging direct member engagement and communication. Pricing plans cater to various budgets, ensuring ongoing user satisfaction and retention. Following the GROWTH funding round in December 2011, eÇift plans to utilize the EUR 3 million raised to enhance its platform and expand into new markets, with a focus on international regions. The company is currently designing new features aimed at improving user experience, aiming for a rollout within the next year.


Strategic plans include targeting markets beyond Turkey, enhancing its global profile and service reach.
