POM raises £1.5m in angel investment ahead of its London launch
The pre-seed funding will support the development of the company's emotional matching algorithm and technical team.
POM is a dating application that matches users based on their music libraries and psychological compatibility rather than physical appearance. The platform relies on imported music data and emotional profiling questions to curate connections.
The Power of Music has secured £1.5m in pre-seed angel investment ahead of its official launch in London on 10th August. The company has already amassed a pre-registered user base of over 25,000 members.
The capital will be directed towards advancing the platform's emotional matching algorithm and expanding its technical team. Following initial user milestones, the matching process will transition to automated machine learning.
From the founder
"That got me thinking music clearly plays a deeper role in who we are than most think. It’s a voice for emotion, and using music as a vehicle to understand emotion allows for a greater understanding of other people, and of course, potential partners."
