Frequently Asked Questions

Canopy is a shidduch service that expands, modernizes, and refines the shidduch system. On Canopy, daters can review anonymized shidduch profiles and request additional information on profiles relevant to them. When two daters both request more information on each other, identifying details are shared, a matcher is assigned to coordinate, and then the traditional shidduch system takes over from there. Working outside of Canopy, the matcher will answer any questions and arrange the setup if both daters agree to go out.

Canopy does not permit interaction between daters on the app. Our model promotes privacy, dater autonomy, and minimizes middleman involvement. Canopy also has built-in measures to maintain a 1:1 ratio of men to women daters. We think Canopy is both a revolutionary approach to shidduchim, and also a simple and natural extension of the shidduch system already in place.

We ask our shailos to Rav Mordechai Willig, shlit"a. We also received brachos for hatzlacha from Rav Asher Weiss shlit"a and Rav Dovid Cohen shlit"a.

At Canopy, we want to be as inclusive as possible. However, if our first 200 users are ages 20 - 120 and range across the frum spectrum, we won't be able to make matches very well. We don't want to annoy our users!

For this reason, beta stage sign-ups are limited and we hope to grow and expand!
