Enter Chivy—a premium dating app built for singles who are serious about finding meaningful, lasting relationships. “Dating used to be exciting and personal,” says Shkreli. “But somewhere along the way, it lost its soul. I built Chivy to bring that back—and to Make Dating Great Again.”
From Real Estate to Real Connection
As someone who grew up with a strong sense of family, commitment, and aligned values, Shkreli couldn’t ignore the rising wave of dating app horror stories—from Netflix’s Tinder Swindler and Ashley Madison: Sex, Lies & Scandal to the everyday experiences of friends stuck in the swipe cycle. Add in the isolation of COVID, and it became clear: people were craving something real—and no one was fixing it.
So he stepped up to the challenge. Leveraging his entrepreneurial drive and deep understanding of how people connect in the real world, Shkreli launched Chivy—a platform that prioritizes intention, trust, and real-life chemistry.
What Makes Chivy Different?
Chivy skips the noise. Users receive five curated profiles per day, selected based on core values, preferences, and life goals. The app features a built-in AI Wingman that learns your type, offers personalized icebreakers, and even recommends the right time to ask someone out.
Verification is handled through CLEAR—at no cost to users—ensuring authenticity and creating a safe space. Chivy also uses AI-powered moderation to foster respectful conversations and filter out bad actors.
And Chivy doesn’t just live on your phone. The app regularly hosts in-person events—from elevated mixers to curated singles nights—where users can meet matches face-to-face in trusted, intentional environments.
A Platform Built on Values
At its core, Chivy reflects Shkreli’s belief that dating should be rooted in alignment, ambition, and authenticity. “People still want love,” he says. “They just need a better way to find it—one that actually reflects who they are and what they want.”
Now growing rapidly across NYC and Westchester, Chivy is turning into more than just an app. It’s a movement to bring depth back to dating—and to build real relationships, one meaningful connection at a time.
