The best connections in your life won't happen by accident.

Dani is a matchmaking, community, and consulting firm for people who are intentional about who they let into their lives.

The Founder

Daniella Guimaraes

I started Dani because I kept watching the most impressive people I know settle for the default. Founders who hadn't been on a real date in two years. Creatives surrounded by people who didn't challenge them. Professionals who moved to a new city and had no idea how to build a circle from scratch.

So I started doing what I'd always done naturally — making introductions, especially across the hot-monogamy and ENM community. First it was dinners in New York. Then it became matchmaking. Then a community. Then consulting for brands that wanted to build the same kind of intentional spaces.

Today, Dani operates out of New York and Miami with events across Tuscany, St. Tropez, Ibiza, Brazil, and Croatia. Every member is vetted. Every introduction is intentional. And every part of the operation is enhanced by AI tools that I built specifically for this work — because great instincts deserve great infrastructure.

I don't believe in leaving your most important relationships to chance. Neither should you.

Our Approach

AI-Enhanced, Human-Led

Dani is one of the first matchmaking and community operations to run on AI infrastructure. We use advanced tools to cross-reference compatibility data, optimize introductions, and screen every member through our proprietary verification platform — Bad Actor Identifier (BAI).

The result: precision that traditional matchmakers can't offer, backed by a human who actually cares about the outcome. Technology handles the data. Daniella handles the decisions.
