Stacy Thomson
Stacy Thomson, aged 44 from St Albans, an award-winning mental health clinician and business psychologist, founded REDDI with the vision of creating a serious, no-nonsense matchmaking dating app for genuine individuals seeking meaningful healthy connections.
The platform’s exclusive, members-only community undergoes a strict vetting process, significantly reducing the chances of encountering catfishing or disingenuous profiles.
Global Matchmaking Innovation
REDDI stands as the world’s first global matchmaking open network, revolutionising the way individuals connect and build relationships on a global scale.
Founder’s Vision
Founded in 2022 by Stacy Thomson, REDDI is the brainchild of a visionary entrepreneur with a deep understanding of human behaviour, relationships, and the evolving landscape of online dating, using matchmaking, psychology and chemistry to connect couples.
Exclusive Membership
REDDI is an exclusive members-only community, fostering an environment that prioritises quality connections over quantity. This approach ensures a curated experience for individuals seeking genuine, long-term relationships.
Curated Matches and Intimate Discovery
REDDI ensures a personalised experience by limiting the number of daily matches to five, focusing on quality over quantity. The profiles offer a more intimate discovery, encouraging members to be upfront about their preferences and non-negotiables, fostering a culture of transparency and authenticity.
Founder’s Background in Mental Health
Stacy Thomson, REDDI’s founder, brings over 20 years of experience in mental health to the app’s design. Her background as a mental health practitioner and a business psychologist has significantly influenced the app’s approach to human behaviour, relationships, connection, and love.
Personal Investment
REDDI helps you learn more about yourself which will empower you to make better decisions, You’ll discover your attachment style and receive advice and coaching from experts. We’ll match you with someone on your wavelength. You’ll meet like-minded, intelligent and ambitious people and we aim to help you find a great match and develop a lasting relationship.
Gamification and Behaviour Modification
REDDI challenges the conventional approach to modern dating app gamification. Unlike apps that trigger dopamine rushes through endless swiping, REDDI aims to alter behavioural patterns associated with dating apps, addressing issues such as addiction, burnout, and poor decision-making.
Attachment Style Integration
Setting itself apart, REDDI integrates attachment style, a psychology concept from the 1950s which categorises individuals into three main groups: secure, anxious, and avoidant —enhancing compatibility and understanding between potential partners.
Offline and Online Integration
Recognising that building meaningful connections takes time, REDDI serves as both an online and offline dating community. The platform acknowledges that connection often extends beyond a single date and offers guidance and support for individuals seeking a deeper, more meaningful connection.
Social Responsibility Call
In an era where mental health challenges prevail, REDDI takes a stance on social responsibility within the dating app industry. The founder calls upon CEOs and founders of dating apps to pledge to do business with a focus on social responsibility, contributing positively to society and mental health outcomes.
Dual Presence
With operational hubs in both London and New York, REDDI strategically positions itself in two major global cities, providing a diverse and cosmopolitan environment for its members.
