I

First, Sade gets to know you.

Twenty minutes, once. Your faith, and how much of the decision it makes. Your family, and what they will expect of the person you bring home. Your genotype. How you handle money, and how you handle a hard conversation. The marriage you actually want, not the one you are supposed to want.

II

A few people. With reasons.

Every Sunday evening, Sade brings you the people she has thought about, and tells you why. Aligned intentions. Compatible genotypes. The same timeline for marriage. Some weeks, no one, because the wrong introduction costs more than none. Everyone who reaches you is checked against the national identity record. One identity, one account.

III

Designed to end in marriage.

One private room for each introduction. Voice notes, so you hear each other before you meet. Coaching from Sade when the conversation stalls, and a plan for the first meeting. Afterwards we ask you both how it went, because that is how Sade learns. Not more matches. One person you build a life with.

What we ask of you

  1. You can verify who you are. A government ID and a live selfie, checked by our identity partner. Every member does it. No exceptions, including us.
  2. You mean marriage. SADE is single intent. If you are not there yet, wait for us.
  3. You show up. Answer Sade honestly, respond to introductions, tell us how the first meeting went.
  4. You are in Lagos. The first cohort is one city, so introductions can become meetings.

Trust is the product

What we built before we built anything else.

One identity, one account

An identity already verified on SADE cannot open a second account. Impersonation has nowhere to stand.

Your ID is never stored

Your ID goes to Smile ID, a licensed identity partner used by banks, and is discarded the moment the check returns. SADE keeps the verdict, never the document.

Deletion means deletion

Leave, and your profile, photos, voice notes, messages and preferences are removed. Not archived. Removed.

Quality matches, not quantity

Most platforms match you constantly and well almost never. SADE brings you a few people who are verified, compatible on the things that actually end marriages, and introduced with the reasons in writing.

People, not only software

Reports are read by people. Conduct that would not pass in your family's living room does not pass here.

Applications are open.

Three minutes. Have a government ID to hand.
