Official description

Use the text below when writing about Forj. Please do not alter the company name, description, or statistics without contacting press@forjapp.com.

Forj is a professional matchmaking platform that connects ambitious, career-driven individuals with meaningful, long-term relationships. Founded in Lagos, Nigeria in 2025, Forj uses multi-platform professional verification (LinkedIn, GitHub, Behance) and a proprietary compatibility algorithm to match working professionals based on career alignment, lifestyle interests, and relationship intent. The platform targets professionals aged 25–45 in Nigeria, with plans to expand across Africa and globally. Forj Premium is priced at ₦9,999/month — 40–60% below comparable platforms. The company was founded by Tunde Adeyemi (CEO), Ngozi Okafor (CPO), and Emeka Nwosu (CTO).

Founder quotes

On the record — approved for publication

"Nigeria's professionals are among the most driven on the continent. They deserved a dating platform that understood them — not one that treated them the same as a casual user in California."
TA
Tunde Adeyemi
Co-founder & CEO, Forj
"Most dating apps are designed to keep you swiping. We're designed to get you off the app — because you found someone worth meeting. That's a fundamental product philosophy difference."
NO
Ngozi Okafor
Co-founder & CPO, Forj
"The matching algorithm is the most important product in Forj. We spent months on it before we built anything else. Every weight, every signal — it's grounded in what we learned from talking to real professionals."
EN
Emeka Nwosu
Co-founder & CTO, Forj
"Verification isn't a feature. It's the foundation. Without it, every other product decision is built on sand. That's why we made it mandatory before a profile goes live."
