— Why We Started

We built Clique because dating started to feel lonelier than being single.

— The Co-Founders

Hân and Thúy met at an incubator program, each looking for a co-founder willing to build the same vision. Together, they are the brain and the heart behind Clique — different in style, equal in intensity, and committed to the same way of working.

Co-Founder & CEO

Hân Lâm

The Brain

Hân is the builder behind Clique's system, product, and long-term vision.

As the former CEO of O'smiles, she learned how much trust depends on details: the way people are welcomed, guided, protected, and cared for before they are ready to open up. She brings that same precision into dating — an industry that often treats people like profiles, when they are actually carrying hopes, fears, standards, and past disappointments.

At Clique, Hân shapes the matching experience, customer journey, and operating system behind the brand. Her work is to turn an emotional mission into something real, repeatable, and scalable — a new dating culture in Vietnam built not on luck, but on trust, design, and care.

Co-Founder & COO

Thúy Doanova

The Heart

Thúy is the voice behind Clique's emotional clarity — the person who helps turn a new dating concept into something people can feel, understand, and trust.

With experience at Google across business growth and client strategy, she brings a sharp commercial and human lens to Clique: how people make decisions, what makes them hesitate, and what helps them believe in something new. She understands that in a category as personal as dating, trust is not built by sounding impressive. It is built by making people feel deeply understood.

At Clique, Thúy shapes the brand's voice, market positioning, and customer connection — making sure the company speaks not like an app, but like someone who actually understands what modern singles are going through.

— What We Believe

Love rarely begins with endless choice. It begins when people feel safe enough to be curious.

A person can look "wrong" on paper and feel completely different across a table. A profile can tell you facts, but it cannot show you warmth, rhythm, humour, presence, or the way someone listens.

That is why Clique is not built around giving people more strangers to sort through. It is built around creating the context where two people have a real chance to recognise each other.

— Our Mission

1 million real connections by 2030. Starting in Vietnam.

1.83% completeTarget by end of 2025: 22%

A connection is counted only when two people are actually introduced — at an event, or through a coffee date. We update this number monthly.Last updated: May 2026

The mission is ambitious because the problem is real. Modern singles are tired, but they are not hopeless. They still want love. They still want to meet good people. They just need a better way in.

— The Name

One last thing — about Clique and 83.

In French, clique means a close-knit group — the people you share life with on a deeper level. In English, it sounds like click — that quiet moment when two people realise, naturally, "oh — we fit."

Our logo says it without words: a circle, the comfort zone, and a "C" — the individual — stepping out of it. Real connection rarely comes to you. You walk out to find it.

And the 83. People always ask. The answer comes from a conviction we held when we started Clique, and one we still hold now: it takes about 8 dates to know if you'd say 3 words to someone. Not 8 coffee dates — 8 different kinds. Coffee, then dinner, then a trip, then errands, then a long Sunday with nothing planned, then time with each other's friends. You need to see a person in different rooms to know who they are. The number stayed in the name as a reminder of that.

It is also, quietly, a nod to our roots. Clique83 was founded by two Vietnamese women who believe in love — and as we dream of becoming the next chapter in how the world meets, we wanted to carry that origin with us wherever we go.
