SingldOut is an online dating platform that uses genetic testing to identify potential relationship matches. The company markets its intention to bridge the gap between digital networking and biological compatibility. The service uses the professional networking site LinkedIn as well as DNA testing company Instant Chemistry in order to match its members. Elle France launched the site in July 2014.
Service
Upon registering with SingldOut, members are sent a DNA test kit. To assess the biological compatibility of its members, SingldOut examines immune system genes, which play a role in attraction, as well as serotonin transporter genes, which play a role in determining how someone might react in certain situations. Results from the DNA test are posted on the user’s profile and can be compared with the results of other users.
The company credits genetic testing with the ability to “identify up to 40 percent of the chemistry of attraction between two people.”
