Mark Brooks Launches ‘Matching Expert’ to Connect Singles & Matchmakers
Matchmaker.com, a new platform that connects singles with vetted professional matchmakers, officially launched on April 2, 2026. Founded by Ophir Laizerovich, co-founder of LeadThink, and Mark Brooks, a longtime advisor in the online dating industry, the service positions itself as a concierge-style alternative to traditional dating apps.
Ophir Laizerovich brings experience in business development and performance marketing, while Mark Brooks has advised numerous dating companies and hosts the LTR conference on love, technology, and relationships.
“Matchmaker.com is making expert matchmaking accessible to more singles by bringing professional matchmakers and clients together in one place. It’s a win-win: singles get personalised support from vetted experts, and matchmakers gain a dedicated platform to grow their business and reach new clients. This approach helps raise the profile of matchmaking as a service and makes it easier for people to find meaningful connections.” – Mark Brooks, CEO, Matchmaker.com
The platform operates as a marketplace where users answer a short series of questions about their location, age, income, preferences, and relationship goals. Based on their responses, Matchmaker.com matches them with suitable professional matchmakers. Users then work directly with the selected matchmaker, who provides personalized introductions and ongoing guidance.
For matchmakers, the site offers a new way to reach high-intent clients without relying on conventional lead-generation tactics. The founders say the matching process aims to improve client quality and allow matchmakers to focus more on delivering results.
Brooks stated that matchmakers provide services distinctly different from online dating and that it can be difficult for singles to find quality professionals. The platform seeks to simplify that search. The platform does not function as a dating app in itself, but as an intermediary that links users with human matchmakers for curated, high-touch matchmaking experiences – and given the recent popularity of matchmakers and other intentional dating options, the timing could give it very strong foundational legs.
