Hood, formerly a pseudonymous social networking platform, has rebranded and pivoted to KnotDating, an AI-driven matchmaking platform designed for professionals seeking meaningful relationships.
KnotDating leverages behavioral insights and human-assisted matchmaking to enhance compatibility between individuals. Unlike traditional matrimony platforms that rely on filters and preferences, KnotDating uses conversational AI to analyze human behavior and communication, fostering deeper connections.
The platform is currently invite-only, with plans to open to the public soon.
Jasveer Singh, co-founder & CEO of KnotDating, highlighted the platform’s unique approach:
“We’re not just another matrimony app—we’re building a space where compatibility grows through conversations. Our focus is on professionals who are serious about finding a partner and taking charge of their journey before involving their families.”
Before its transformation, Hood (previously Zorro) had raised $3.2 million from investors, including 3one4 Capital, 9Unicorn Ventures, Vijay Shekhar Sharma, Ritesh Agarwal, Ashish Hemrajani, Kunal Shah, and Ashneer Grover.

Hood was initially launched by Jasveer Singh and Abhishek Asthana (widely known as Gabbbar Singh on social media) as an anonymous social networking platform. However, based on user feedback and market trends, the company saw a larger opportunity in helping people form deep and lasting relationships, leading to its strategic shift towards matchmaking.
With its innovative AI-powered approach, KnotDating aims to redefine modern matchmaking by prioritizing genuine conversations and compatibility over traditional filters.
