Paired to raise $3.6 million seed round from Eka Ventures and top European angel investors.

Paired, a London, UK-based startup building a consumer mobile app for couples, announced the completion of a $3.6 million capital funding round.

The money was raised from a range of investors led by Eka Ventures, joined by multiple angel investors including Taavet Hinrikus (Wise, formerly TransferWise), Harold Primat (investor in disrupter brands and former professional racing driver), and the co-founders of Runtastic.

Camilla Dolan of Eka Ventures will join the board alongside the app’s founders Kevin Shanahan and Diego López.

The proceeds will be used to accelerate the company’s global growth ambitions and scale up its product development efforts, giving users personalised recommendations based on their relationship interests and needs.

Paired, founded in 2019 by Kevin Shanahan and Diego López, is a fun, evidence-based app that prompts daily conversations between partners. The company says it has more than 5,000 paying subscribers, with growing audiences in the US, UK, Australia, and Canada.

Paired previously was pre-seeded with $1 million in 2020.
