Jigsaw, formerly known as JigTalk, operates in the online dating market with a personality-based mobile application. The company's core service is a dating app that conceals users' faces with a digital jigsaw puzzle. This feature is designed to encourage users to engage in conversation and connect based on personality rather than physical appearance. As users interact and exchange messages, pieces of the jigsaw puzzle are removed, gradually revealing the person's photo. This mechanism aims to foster more meaningful connections compared to traditional dating apps.
The application is a location-based social discovery tool, allowing users to find potential matches in their vicinity. The business model is likely based on a freemium structure, where the basic app is free to use, and revenue is generated through premium features or subscriptions that offer enhanced functionality. The company holds a U.S. patent for its unique jigsaw puzzle concept, which was granted in early 2021. Jigsaw targets a segment of the dating market that is looking for an alternative to the often superficial nature of other dating platforms.
