Say what you want first. Then an introduction.
When the founding pilot opens, we will introduce adults who already know what they want, and only when it fits for both. Someone to build with, not just someone to date. No feed, no swiping, no public profile. If you both say yes, the two of you will meet in person.
-
No feed
You won’t browse other people’s photos.
-
No chat first
There will be an introduction, a yes or a no, then a meeting.
-
Private until you both agree
The fuller profile will open only if you both say yes.
What to expect
Three steps, and no endless dating.
When the founding pilot opens, it will be a quiet process: you’ll say what you want, we’ll compare it both ways, and we’ll only introduce two people when it fits for both.
-
01
Tell us what you want
About three minutes for the basics, then the plan, then two or three sessions. The profile will fill in stages: basics, the plan, the sessions, and notes. We will not ask about your sex life, and we will not ask medical questions. We will ask you about children, money and a prenup before we introduce you. If that feels too soon, we are not for you.
-
02
Must-haves, compared both ways
Each question is a must-have, a preference, or a note for the profile. If either person fails, there will be no introduction.
-
03
You get one introduction
When it fits for both of you, you will get one introduction: plain facts about the other person, and where the two of you differ. Nothing will be sent when it does not fit. If you both say yes, the fuller profile will open and you will meet in person. There will still be no chat first.
Our standard
If we cannot find someone aligned, we will not invent a maybe. We would rather not match you than match you badly. We will not earn from your attention: no ads in the service, no feed, nothing designed to keep you scrolling.
Mutual must-haves
What you want, next to who they are.
An example. Anna and Marco are not real. Matching will be in person only, so where each of you lives, or plans to live, will count.
Marco is
- Wants two children
- Where he lives, or plans to live
- Will sign a prenup
- Non-smoker
Who it is for
Adults working abroad who can say what they want on children, marriage, a prenup, place, work and money. It is not for people who want to browse, keep their options open, or collect casual attention. Starting in Switzerland (Zürich first); Europe is the direction. Open now to people living in Switzerland.
What it will cost
The waitlist is free. When the founding pilot opens, it will be free to join. After you've met someone we introduced, we'll invite you once to pay what you feel it was worth. Paying is up to you. During the founding pilot, you won't be charged for an introduction alone. The founding pilot has no subscription. Full terms will be shown before you sign up. To join the waitlist, this page asks for your email address and where you live.
Questions
What is Tesselan?
Tesselan is a matchmaking service for expat professionals, now taking waitlist sign-ups. It will introduce adults who already know what they want, and members will meet in person only if both say yes. Starting in Switzerland (Zürich first); Europe is the direction. Open now to people living in Switzerland.
Who can join the waitlist?
Adults aged 18 or over who live in Switzerland. The form asks where you live. If you choose “I live outside Switzerland”, we store nothing about you and only add one to an anonymous count. We have no date for opening anywhere else.
How is Tesselan different from a dating app?
There will be no feed, no swiping and no public profile. You will not browse other people. You will be introduced to someone, you will say yes or no, and you will meet in person only if you both say yes.
Is matching in person?
Yes. Matching will be in person only: we will introduce people who live in the same area or plan to live there.
What does this website collect?
This website sets no cookies and has no analytics tools, advertising or tracking. Like any website, our host sees technical request data such as your IP address. If you arrive through a partner’s link, we count sign-ups per partner anonymously. To join the waitlist you give an email address and say where you live, and we ask you to confirm your email once. If you choose “Elsewhere in Switzerland” you may add a city name.
How long do you keep waitlist data?
If you do not confirm your email, we delete your sign-up after 7 days. If you confirm, we keep it until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it, and for no more than 12 months after our last email. Unsubscribing deletes it at once.
Can you promise I will find a partner?
No. We do not promise forever, and we make no promise of a match or of any result. We will only introduce two people when their stated must-haves fit both ways.
Who runs Tesselan?
Tesselan is run by BEMACS GmbH, Zürich, Switzerland. You can reach us at hello@tesselan.com.
