About Trulo
We built Trulo because we were tired of how dating apps felt.
The modern dating problem
Endless swiping. Ghosting. Profiles that are nothing more than a carefully curated illusion. Catfishing and scam bots. Somewhere along the line, dating apps stopped being about meeting people and started being an endless, addictive game that left us all feeling a bit more lonely.
We've all been there: matching with someone, having a tedious two-week conversation that slowly fizzles out, or finally meeting up only to realize they are completely different in real life—or worse, not who they said they were at all.
Our Mission
We founded Trulo to bring dating back to the real world. Our mission is simple: to help you find your match in real life, not keep you endlessly scrolling on a screen.
We accomplish this by throwing out the old dating app playbook:
- No more anonymity: Mandatory ID checks mean everyone is verified. No fake profiles, no age-faking.
- No more endless penpals: Our system limits the number of messages you can send before you have to decide to exchange numbers or meet up.
- Real-world focus: We suggest places to meet, considering travel time, not just arbitrary distances.
- Safety first: Date with confidence using our personal audit trail feature.
The Trulo Team
We are a small, dedicated team based out of the UK. We're passionate about bringing safety and authenticity back to online connection. Trulo is privately funded and fiercely independent, which means we can focus entirely on what makes the experience better for our users, without having to compromise on safety or algorithm ethics.
