Our Story
Founded in 2018, SmartNTD was born from a simple observation: dating in the digital age had become impersonal and inefficient, especially in Taiwan's fast-paced urban centers.
Our founders, Lisa Chen and David Lin, both experienced the frustrations of dating apps that focused more on appearances than compatibility. They envisioned a platform that would use technology to facilitate more meaningful connections based on shared values, interests, and relationship goals.
Today, SmartNTD has grown to become Taiwan's leading dating platform, known for our innovative approach to matchmaking and our commitment to creating a safe, inclusive environment for singles of all backgrounds.
Our Mission
At SmartNTD, we believe that meaningful relationships are the foundation of a fulfilling life. Our mission is to harness the power of technology to help people find authentic connections in an increasingly disconnected world.
We're committed to:
- Creating a platform that values substance over superficiality
- Providing a safe and respectful environment for all users
- Continuously innovating to improve the matching experience
- Celebrating the diversity of relationships and dating experiences
With every feature we develop and every update we release, we're working toward a world where finding your perfect match is less about endless swiping and more about authentic connection.

Biggest Beginner Mistakes
-
Being Too Focused on Perfect Matches
Many new users set overly specific criteria and miss out on compatible matches. Keep an open mind and give connections a chance to develop before dismissing them.
-
Moving Too Quickly
Rushing into deep emotional territory or making premature relationship assumptions can overwhelm potential matches. Take time to build a connection gradually.
-
Neglecting Safety Precautions
Always meet in public places for first dates, let someone know where you're going, and be cautious about sharing personal information too soon.
