Twinby is an online dating and geosocial networking application launched in June 2023 by HSE graduates Valery Klimov and Veronika Yakovleva. The app positions itself as a platform for serious relationships and uses a twin-matching system.
Upon registration, users take psychological tests based on the Myers-Briggs typology and other models, after which an algorithm selects profiles with high psychological compatibility.[1] In its segment, the service ranks third in Russia as of 2025.[2][3][4]
History
The idea for the service came to the co-founders in 2021, when the team from the HSE Laboratory of Applied Network Analysis proposed using the results of psychological tests for recommender systems.[5] Product development took about two years and cost $1 million of the founders money.[6]
Twinby's launch at the end of June 2023 coincided with the departure of foreign services Match Group and Bumble from the Russian market.[7] By the fall of that year, the number of downloads exceeded 2 millions.[8]
In November 2023, the service raised 150 million rubles from a group of private investors and Impact Capital, valuing the company at 5 billions rubles.[9]
Financials
In January 2024, Twinby launched a paid subscription service, and in December 2024, the company closed a double A round, raising 350 millions rubles for business development in Russia and the CIS and an additional $1.5 million for the global version of the app.[10]
By the end of 2025, the app's revenue rose to $12.6 million.[11]
