About dateHarvardSQ
Who we are
Welcome to dateHarvardSQ.com!
We created this first-of-its-kind online dating community while studying at Harvard Business School to connect Harvard graduate students, undergraduate students and alumni with amazing men and women from around the world. We developed our idea for DateHarvardSQ after realizing that all too often, our friends, classmates and alumni were sacrificing romance for their education and careers. So we set out to create a simple, easy-to-use platform that makes an enduring relationship a reality for busy Harvard singles as well as for the highly intelligent, driven men and women who would otherwise not have the opportunity to meet them.
Founded in 2010, DateHarvardSQ is owned and operated by a team of dedicated Harvard University graduates whose goal is to help their peers find meaningful relationships with likeminded individuals. Our name, DateHarvardSQ, is inspired by the vibrant social scene in Cambridge’s (MA) Harvard Square, where many members of the University community find lasting love. We are based in Boston, New York and London, and are working around the clock to connect our members with exceptional matches.
We are eager to answer your questions about dateHarvardsq.com, so feel free to contact us via support@dateharvardsq.com or check out our FAQ page for more information. We are excited to welcome you to DateHarvardSQ and to begin connecting you with great matches!
Best regards,

How it works
Each week, we send five new matches to all members of the DateHarvardSQ community. All matches received by Interested Singles are Harvard educated men and women. Harvard Singles receive a mix of Harvard Singles and Interested Singles. There are no publicly searchable profiles on DateHarvardSQ.com, and members decide which of their matches (if any) they choose to contact based on personal and professional qualities. Our matching algorithm allows us to match singles who share deep commonalities via information captured during one of the simplest dating registration processes online.
Every member of the DateHarvardSQ community receives their weekly matches completely free of charge! Interested Singles are asked to pay a subscription fee only after they choose to proactively contact a match that they are interested in.
Safety and privacy are top priorities of the DateHarvardSQ Team. Our matching mechanism identifies which profiles are best suited for a romantic relationship, and our communications system allows members to contact each other comfortably directly through the user interface. We verify that all Harvard singles on our site are students or alumni of Harvard University, and we have built a “Responsiveness Rate Calculator” and other matchmaking tools to help our members understand how active their connections are in the community, and to decide who to contact. Please see our privacy policy for more information.
