AI dating startup Ditto has successfully raised $9.2 million in seed funding to disrupt the traditional dating app landscape by replacing swiping with AI-driven date planning. Led by Peak XV Partners with participation from firms like Gradient and Scribble Ventures, the funding will fuel the startup’s expansion beyond its current California campus footprint. Founded by two UC Berkeley dropouts, including CEO Allen Wang, Ditto operates via iMessage to match college students and coordinate “in-real-life” dates at specific times and locations. By focusing on Gen Z’s fatigue with endless digital chatting, the company reports that roughly 20% of its matches result in actual dates, a significant jump over traditional platforms.

FOUNDERS: Allen Wang & Eric Liu

INVESTORS: Peak XV Partners, Gradient, Scribble Ventures, Alumni Ventures & Llama Venture

ROUND: Seed
AMOUNT: $9,200,000

HQ: San Francisco, California.
