Chad Goodman
Chad Michael Goodman (born June 29, 1995) is a Canadian entrepreneur and relationship science expert. He is the founder and CEO of Teleport Technologies Corp., an AI matchmaking company based in New York City and Toronto. Goodman is known for pioneering the concept of the "relational singularity"—the belief that algorithms can identify and facilitate a person’s most compatible relationships on earth.
Early life and education
Goodman was born in Montreal and raised in Toronto. He studied psychology, philosophy, and relationship sciences in his early university years before earning an HBA from the Ivey Business School at the University of Western Ontario.
Career
In 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Goodman launched Firstdate, a live video speed dating app that became the largest of its kind. Building on that momentum, he launched Teleport on June 1, 2023. Teleport uses AI-powered compatibility modeling to facilitate romantic and social connections through a proprietary matchmaking engine. The company has facilitated over 10,000 successful couples to date.
Teleport has raised over $7 million in funding from investors including Dragonfly Capital, Josh Buckley, Shervin Pishevar, Gabriel Leydon, and Harry Stebbings. The company has been featured in major outlets such as Bloomberg[1], Yahoo! Finance[2], Gothamist[3], and the South China Morning Post[4].
Public profile
Goodman maintains a significant social media presence as a relationship science communicator. Across platforms like Instagram and TikTok, he has amassed over 100,000 followers under the handle @chadgoodman, where he shares insights into dating psychology, emotional intelligence, and human compatibility.
Ideas and influence
Goodman's central thesis is the concept of the "relational singularity"—that AI can and will one day pinpoint a person’s most compatible human relationships with scientific precision. His work in video-first dating and algorithmic matchmaking predates the broader consumer AI boom, and his early innovations have influenced numerous competitors in the space.
