It combines a six-dimensional personality assessment, a 12-archetype framework, richer profile context, verification signals, curated discovery, and date-planning support so strong matches have a better chance of becoming something real.
Quest starts with a six-dimensional assessment and richer profile context so users can make better decisions than a swipe-first experience usually allows.

Quick Answers
Quest exists for people who want dating products to create better decisions, better trust, and better momentum, not just more activity.
Quest is a compatibility-first dating app and social discovery platform designed to help people understand fit before they invest time in a match. It combines a six-dimensional assessment, 12 archetypes, richer profile depth, and follow-through tools such as prompts, calling, and date planning.
Quest is built for high-intent adults who want more context, stronger trust signals, and a better path from match to real-world connection. That often includes professionals, founders, creatives, and other selective daters who care about quality over volume.
Quest prioritizes compatibility context, profile authenticity, curated discovery, and follow-through instead of maximizing endless browsing. The product is meant to help people make fewer, better decisions rather than more, faster ones.
Quest is growing through a private beta with current focus on New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, and the DMV.
Why Quest Exists
Many dating products optimize for engagement loops instead of relationship outcomes. The result is more browsing, more mixed intent, and more time spent sorting through low-context profiles.
Quest takes a different approach. We want people to understand who feels promising before they invest their time, and we want strong matches to have a better path from first impression to real-world connection.
That means building for compatibility, authenticity, and follow-through from the start.
There is also a broader market reason to care about trust and clarity. Pew Research Center's 2023 online dating study found that 30% of U.S. adults have used a dating site or app, while 48% of online daters reported at least one unwanted behavior. Quest is built around the idea that trust and compatibility need to be product features, not marketing slogans.
Who It Is For
We are currently focused on a private beta in New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, and the DMV so the early experience can stay curated and useful.
Founder And Editorial Stewardship
Brian Proctor is the founder and CEO of Quest. He is responsible for the higher-level public explanation of how Quest approaches compatibility-first dating, trust, and follow-through.
That does not mean Quest publishes hype or unverified performance claims. Public product pages and blog posts are meant to stay grounded in the live product, the current beta posture, and clearly attributed outside research where relevant.
