VLVT Is One of Silicon Valley’s Startup Grind Top 150 Startups

VLVT, the relationship intelligence platform teaching the science of love through AI-powered education and community, has been selected as one of the Top 150 startups invited to pitch and exhibit at the prestigious Startup Grind Global Conference.

Each year, Startup Grind brings together thousands of founders, investors, and innovators from around the world. Being selected as a Top 150 startup places VLVT among a highly competitive cohort recognized for innovation, traction, and global potential.

Founded by Montreal-based psychologist-in-training and researcher Connie Perl, VLVT is building what it calls “Love Intelligence™” — a new category at the intersection of psychology and artificial intelligence. The platform delivers 2-minute, research-backed lessons, highly personalized AI insights, guided reflections, and interactive features for singles and couples alike.

“Dating apps taught us how to swipe,” said Connie Perl, Founder & CEO of VLVT. “But they never taught us how to love — how to communicate, repair conflict, or feel secure in relationships. We’re building the infrastructure to teach those skills at scale. All the relationship space knows is dating apps, but we're changing that — building a far more effective solution for human love and connection. Being selected by Startup Grind validates that relationship health is not just a personal issue — it’s a global innovation opportunity.”

VLVT’s mission is bold: to help one billion people learn to love securely and intelligently by 2030. The company differentiates itself from traditional dating apps and AI chat-based tools by combining evidence-based psychological education with social features that foster growth, accountability, and meaningful connection.

At the conference, VLVT will:

• Pitch live among top global startups

• Exhibit its AI-powered Love Intelligence™ platform

• Connect with international investors and strategic partners

• Showcase the future of relationship education technology

As mental health challenges and dating fatigue continue to rise globally, VLVT positions itself as a proactive solution — equipping users with the tools to build secure, fulfilling relationships before crisis occurs.

VLVT is currently in its pre-seed fundraising round and preparing for broader public launch.
