Something real starts here.
ALBA was founded in 2025 by Larissa Wischhusen and Jessica Fothen in Düsseldorf. Two founders who believe that dating can be better: more personal, more attentive, more real.
So we built the opposite of endless swiping. ALBA shows you a small, curated bundle of suggestions and lets you focus on one match at a time. No swiping. No ghosting. Just room for real conversations.
The idea was born in August 2025, development started that December, and in autumn 2026 ALBA arrived in the App Store and on Google Play. Since November 2026, singles all over Germany can join.
Our mission is to make dating personal again. Fewer profiles, more attention, and connections that carry on beyond the screen.
Instead of judging profiles in seconds, you receive a small, curated bundle and focus on one person. Suggestions are based on psychologically informed tests, and you decide what truly matters to you.
Before a new match can begin, the current one has to be closed. ALBA asks you to send a short message and helps with suggestions for the right words. No match ends without a word.
ALBA does not end on the screen. With the monthly ALBA Run in Düsseldorf, parties and singles events, we bring our community together in real life.
