CarpeDM, The Future of Online Dating for Black Women, Closes $1M Oversubscribed Pre-Seed Round

CarpeDM, a Techstars portfolio company, today announced the closing of its oversubscribed pre-seed financing round bringing total capital raised by the early stage startup to $1.054 million. CarpeDM is a tech-enabled matchmaking service and patented video-based dating app designed to help professional Black women, and all those seeking to date them, find love.

The Black woman-owned, minority female-led company is co-founded by Howard University School of Law alumnae and best friends Naza Shelley and Sali Hama. As a successful attorney, Naza was tired of wasting time swiping through a sea of incompatible matches and going on disappointing first dates. “Online dating is time consuming and not built with Black women in mind. So we created a dating service that puts our needs first.”

Naza said, “I am grateful to our investors who not only believe in our mission, but also respect us as business women and see the huge market opportunity in what we’re building.”
