Photo Verified means AVEN has reviewed a submitted camera capture against profile photos, and a person reviews every check. It does not verify government identity, criminal history, or whether someone is safe to meet.

AVEN does not currently offer police-record or government-ID background checks. No verification badge is a guarantee of safety.

Understand verification and safety

02: The idea

Some things deserve
your full attention.

The story behind a photograph. A shared perspective. The first conversation that makes you lose track of time.

AVEN makes room for the good stuff: profiles that read like actual people, and conversations that start because you are both interested.

03: People, not profiles

Read someone before you meet them.

A good profile isn’t a highlight reel. It’s a window. Prompts that show how someone thinks, what makes them laugh, and what they take seriously.

A perfect Sunday looks like…

Coffee at the corner place, a long walk with no destination, then cooking something slightly ambitious for dinner.

You’ll get bonus points if…

You have a strong, defensible opinion about which bakery does the best croissant in this city.

I’m still thinking about…

That tiny basement jazz bar downtown. Go on a Thursday, trust me on this one.

04: How AVEN works

A more considered
way to meet.

See the five steps
  1. Be more than a photograph.

    Your profile should sound like you, not a résumé with better photos. Share the values, interests, and small details that make you who you are.

  2. Begin with something personal.

    Browse profiles worth reading. When a prompt, a photo, or an opinion catches your eye, say so. That’s your opening line.

  3. Let the conversation unfold.

    When the interest is mutual, a private conversation opens. Take your time getting to know each other.

05: The first move

Say something worth answering.

No empty double-taps required. When someone catches your interest, you can attach a note about the specific prompt or photo that stopped you.

A little effort up front keeps the “hey” messages out.

Their prompt

“You’ll get bonus points if you have a strong, defensible opinion about croissants.”

The place on 5th, obviously. I’m happy to defend this over coffee sometime.

Illustrative example: not a real profile or conversation

Okay, defending a croissant opinion over coffee is the most confident first message I’ve ever received.
I take breakfast pastry very seriously. So what’s your verdict: flaky or buttery?
Both. Obviously. Thursday?

06: The conversation

Then, just talk.

Starting a conversation shouldn’t feel like cold-calling. When the interest is mutual, a clean private chat opens, with prompts for the blank-text-box moments.

07: Safety & control

Connection is personal.
So is your peace of mind.

Dating works better when you feel safe. How AVEN approaches verification, privacy, reporting, and blocking, plus practical guidance for meeting in person.

  • Blocking and reporting, being built in
  • Your details stay yours
  • Discreet by default

08: A letter from AVEN

Dating got fast.
We’re in no hurry.

Somewhere along the way, meeting someone became a reflex. A flick. A half-second decision, then on to the next.

We think the good stuff was never fast. It was a proper introduction. A conversation with nowhere to be. Someone who actually read your profile before saying hello.

That’s what we’re building: a quieter room, after dark, where two people can start something properly.
