2025 marked a special milestone for Clique. Over the past 12 months, we organized 128 connection events, welcomed more than 13,000 registrations, and created 300,000 minutes of conversations between people who had never met before. From these encounters, 2,227 couples were successfully matched, achieving an impressive 58% match success rate. But if we only look at the numbers, we may still miss what matters most.
The true value does not lie in how many events were organized or how many registrations were recorded. The real value lies in the opportunities each event created for people who would otherwise never have crossed paths in everyday life to sit down, talk, and discover common ground.
In a world where relationships are increasingly fragmented by busy schedules, work demands, and technology, creating spaces where people can genuinely connect has become more important than ever. And that is exactly what Clique has worked tirelessly to achieve throughout 2025.
128 Events Are More Than 128 Gatherings
Many people assume that a connection event is simply a place to find a romantic partner. In reality, the value of these gatherings goes far beyond that. Each event is an opportunity to expand one's social circle. It can be a place where someone new to a city finds a community that feels like home. It can be where a person who has spent years focusing on their career begins opening up to relationships again. It can also be where people who share similar values and perspectives on life discover each other among millions of strangers.
At Clique, we have always believed that meaningful relationships are not created by the number of people you meet, but by the quality of the conversations you have. That is why every event is designed to help participants build deeper connections rather than simply exchange information on a superficial level.
Looking back at the 128 events held throughout the year, what makes us most proud is not the scale of these events, but the thousands of meaningful conversations they made possible.
300,000 Minutes of Connection and the Value of Real Conversations
300,000 minutes is a remarkable number.
It translates into more than 5,000 hours of conversations between participants. These conversations covered careers, personal journeys, family, hobbies, future aspirations, and the values that matter most to each individual.
In the age of social media, starting a conversation has never been easier. Yet maintaining a conversation with depth and authenticity has become increasingly difficult. Many people have hundreds of online connections and still feel lonely. Many spend countless hours on dating apps without finding a truly meaningful exchange.
What Clique is trying to create is not another platform for endless swiping. What we aim to create is an opportunity for people to meet in real life, listen to one another, and build relationships through genuine human presence.
These 300,000 minutes of connection are more than an operational metric. They represent 300,000 minutes spent with people instead of screens.
A 58% Match Success Rate and the Story of Compatibility
One of the most notable figures from 2025 is the 58% match success rate. This means that more than half of all participants found at least one person they wanted to continue connecting with after the event. It reflects an important reality: when people are placed in the right environment, their ability to form meaningful connections is far greater than we often assume.
Clique's goal is not to create as many matches as possible. Our goal is to create higher-quality encounters. Success is not measured by the number of conversations that take place during an evening, but by the number of connections that continue after the event ends. One meaningful connection will always be more valuable than dozens of conversations that leave no lasting impact.
When a Connection Event Becomes the Beginning of a New Chapter
In 2025, four couples got married after meeting through Clique events. In addition, hundreds of couples are currently getting to know one another and building long-term relationships. For us, these are not achievements to boast about. They are the clearest evidence that well-designed connection spaces can create real and lasting impact in people's lives.
Every relationship that forms has the potential to create positive ripple effects. Two people may build a family together. Families become connected. New communities emerge. Positive values continue to spread. The impact of a single encounter is often far greater than what we can see in the present moment.
A Multi-Generational Community Seeking Connection Together
One of the most unique aspects of the Clique community is its diversity in age. Among more than 13,000 participants in 2025, 44% were Gen Z aged 21 to 28, 39% were Gen Y aged 29 to 44, and 17% were Gen X aged 45 and above. These figures demonstrate that the desire for connection does not belong to any single generation.
Young adults are looking for opportunities to expand their relationships while exploring who they are. Working professionals seek deeper and more serious connections as they gain greater clarity about their lives. Meanwhile, many older adults continue to pursue new relationships and companionship for the next chapter of their journey. This diversity enriches the Clique community and reflects a simple truth: the need for connection exists at every stage of life.
An Open Community for Every Story
The 2025 data also highlights the diversity of our participants. Approximately 8% of members identify as part of the LGBT community, while 18% are single mothers or single fathers. These numbers reflect a positive reality: more people feel comfortable participating in connection-focused events and pursuing relationships that align with their lives and values. Clique has always believed that there is no universal formula for love or happiness. Every individual has a unique story, a unique starting point, and a unique set of experiences. What matters is not where you come from or what you have been through. What matters is your willingness to move forward and remain open to new connections.
Building Connections Beyond Geographic Borders
Among more than 13,000 participants, 72% live in Vietnam, while the remaining 28% come from 29 different countries around the world, particularly the United States, Canada, and Australia. This demonstrates that the desire for connection among Vietnamese people is no longer limited by geography.
More and more Vietnamese living abroad are seeking relationships built on shared culture, language, and values. At the same time, many people in Vietnam are increasingly open to expanding their connections within a global community.
Geographic distance is no longer the greatest barrier. What matters more is finding people who share the same wavelength and the same desire to build meaningful relationships.
Thank You to the 13,000 People Who Made 2025 Possible
Behind every number in this report are real people. People who chose to step outside their comfort zones and attend a connection event. People who invested time in new conversations. People who believed in the possibility of finding genuine compatibility among millions of strangers. The 13,000 participants are more than just the Clique community. They are the people who helped us demonstrate that even in an increasingly busy and fragmented world, human beings will always seek connection, understanding, and meaningful relationships.
2025 concluded with 128 events, 300,000 minutes of connection, and 2,227 successful matches. But more importantly, it opened thousands of new possibilities.
We believe there are always people out there searching for one another. Clique's mission is to continue creating spaces where those encounters have the opportunity to happen. Thank you to the 13,000 hearts who joined us throughout 2025. We look forward to seeing you on the next chapter of this journey of connection.
