At Paired, we’re on a mission to help couples stay in love. After the rush of falling in love fades and partners enter the more committed stage, even the most loving couples will inevitably hit challenges. So we created a fun, safe space for couples who are already in love to explore their relationship, get to know one another in new ways, and ultimately grow together.

With 1 in 4 couple relationships being ‘distressed’ and the vast majority of these distressed couples not getting support (either because it’s taboo, unaffordable, or inconvenient) Paired brings relationship support to all couples via a fun, expert, and affordable mobile app. Paired is different to traditional couples therapy as it targets the full spectrum of couples who want help building intimacy, resolving conflict and improving communication.
Paired works with expert relationship academics and therapists. The company combines tips from these experts with fun daily questions, games and quizzes that partners answer together. It prompts partners to take the small, positive steps needed by couples to improve their relationship each day.
The founding team has a deep expertise in building top-grossing mobile apps such as Memrise and Peak, which should give them an edge in creating a widely adopted user-friendly app. An app targeted towards existing relationships stands out as an innovative concept compared to the numerous dating apps already on the market.
Paired is growing rapidly, recently passing more than 250,000 daily active users. Alongside this, it tripled its team size in 2022 and has won plaudits for its app, including the 2020 Google Play Award in the Personal Growth category and the Apple Store's App of the Day in January 2023.

I joined Paired because of the mission. Our romantic relationship with our partner is a huge part of our lives. I'm proud to work for a company that develops a modern approach to keeping relationships happy and healthy.

We know that unique perspectives enrich our company, our culture, and our product. Ultimately, our app should serve all couples, and the more diverse we are, the better we can create an app for different cultural backgrounds and ethnicities that is inclusive of all genders and sexual orientations.

Giving input is always welcomed within the team, and I never felt my opinion was unvalued or disregarded. Also, receiving feedback feels very constructive.

There are always new projects we start and new things we want to test, which normally leads to a busy schedule. However, one thing I really appreciate is that I always have the flexibility to organise my time and follow my own schedule. Also, the team has always been very understanding any time I had to take a few hours off for non work related things.

The company is growing very fast, so there's plenty of opportunities to learn and take on more responsibilities. Management is very supportive, you're encouraged to step out of your comfort zone, and I've learned a lot as a result.

I love being part of an app that's all about keeping relationships happy and healthy! It's great to see the difference we can make to couple relationships, some of the user feedback generally makes my heart melt.

I can't shout loud enough about the talent in this team – and what has been so striking to me is the willingness of team members, at every level and of every different skill set, to share their knowledge with other members of the team. Plus – they're all friendly and generally hilarious. We're a hard-working team, and there's a LOT to do ... but we make time to connect either virtually or at company offsites in person, and that makes such a difference to work culture.

The work at Paired starts with outcomes rather than outputs, ensuring our motivations for doing things are clear. We make our work together enjoyable and friendly and infuse fun into what we put out into the world. Our job is quite experimental, taking calculated risks, so we don’t stop testing and learning.

Prior to joining Paired, when I was recruiting for a new company, my only two search criteria were (1) friendly people, and (2) a meaningful mission. Right from my first interview, Paired demonstrated this, and I was hooked! Fast forward many months and I can say my decision to join Paired is well and truly validated. This place is full of amazing people who are welcoming, supportive, and highly respectful to one another. I finally feel like I am at home with my work.

Knowing that the work we do is helping couples to improve their relationship is highly satisfying - this is a job I am proud to tell my friends and family about :)

Success in our work means a net-positive benefit for society at large - there is no need for a hidden agenda or ulterior motive. The relationships space (post-dating) is also new in the world of apps, and so there is plenty of room for creative thinking in terms of working out how best to crack it! In my role I have had the opportunity to be involved very strategically in shaping the direction of Paired, whether that be new product ideas, feedback on features, or deciding target markets to focus on.
