A shadchan in your friend group — without replacing the real ones
A shadchan is someone who takes responsibility for a suggestion. In many communities that person is a professional. In others it is an aunt, a neighbor, or a friend who simply pays attention. Plenty of Orthodox singles have neither a paid shadchan nor a friend who knows how to look beyond a WhatsApp group.
Kenegdo is for that in-between. It does not crown your roommate “the shadchan of Brooklyn.” It gives a trusted friend a private way to look through profiles for you, then act like a careful shadchan would: suggest the shidduch if it makes sense, or ask you first if the next step should be a conversation, not a pitch.
Professional shadchanim still matter. Software cannot hold a family the way a person can. What Kenegdo adds is coverage — more serious looking — without asking the single to become a public profile on a dating app.
How Kenegdo works
-
Your friend is on Kenegdo
A private profile exists for a single you care about. They stay in control.
-
You look through profiles for them
Trusted friends search with context, not a swipe deck.
-
Suggest it, or ask them first
If it makes sense, suggest the shidduch. If you should check first, ask.
Questions
Are friends on Kenegdo shadchanim?
They take on a shadchan-like job: looking with care and making a suggestion only if it makes sense. That is not the same as hiring a professional shadchan, and Kenegdo does not pretend it is.
Why not just hire a shadchan?
Many people do, and should. Kenegdo is for the looking that friends can do in parallel — especially when a single is not on a busy shadchan’s list this month.
Does the single lose control if friends act like a shadchan?
No. The single stays in control of the profile and of whether a suggestion becomes an introduction. Friends can ask first. That is part of the design.
