Whether you're a seasoned entrepreneur or just getting started, this is the perfect chance to unwind, make new connections, and grow your network in a relaxed setting.Enjoy great conversations with fellow founders, innovators, and startup supporters. Grab a drink, enjoy complimentary appetizers, and take part in a live AMA with Rebecca Nguyen, founder of ValleyMatch.
Rebecca Nguyen is the founder and CEO of ValleyMatch, a matchmaking service focused on building real human connections. With a background in the tech industry and firsthand experience navigating the modern dating world, Rebecca set out to create a better way to find love.
After using a combination of dating apps, in-person meetups, and traditional matchmaking, she realized the current culture treated people more like profiles than individuals. This led her to become a Certified Matchmaker and leave her full-time career in tech to launch ValleyMatch in Northern California. Together with her husband and co-founder Loc Nguyen, she now leads a mission-driven team committed to helping people build meaningful relationships.ValleyMatch is a Northern California-based matchmaking company founded by Rebecca and Loc Nguyen. Created in response to the growing frustration with dating apps and swipe culture, ValleyMatch offers a more personal, thoughtful approach to finding love.
Instead of encouraging endless small talk and one-sided matches, ValleyMatch brings people together based on mutual preferences. Every date includes the option for feedback from both parties, giving clients insight and clarity. With Rebecca’s matchmaking expertise and Loc’s background in software development, ValleyMatch combines technology with a personal touch to keep services effective and affordable.
ValleyMatch is rooted in transparency, integrity, and acceptance. The team believes that everyone deserves a genuine shot at love and focuses on helping clients connect in ways that feel real, intentional, and respectful.Details:
