Six-time start-up entrepreneur and angel investor Tal Zlotnitsky has built the first-of-its-kind innovative technology platform to empower stronger, more loving, and enduring relationships, attracting investment and engagement from a diverse cast of early champions including Anthony Scaramucci, Dr. Richard Safeer, and Lt. General Leslie Smith
Motivated by his own travails with romance, six-time start-up entrepreneur Tal Zlotnitsky founded Our Love Company in April 2021, seeking to bridge the gap between the well-established science of effective loving and the haphazard manner with which most adults in romantic relationships practice love in our everyday lives. The Company has since assembled a seasoned leadership team and attracted external board and advisory talent and investment from executives and entrepreneurs across healthcare and wellness, technology, investing, leadership, product and data security, and emerging industries like emotion AI.
The result of their efforts is Our.Love, a mobile app that is expected to catapult the nascent relationship technology market into the mainstream. Today, relationship tech is heavily focused on introducing relationships, not maintaining them for the long-term.
Available in the iOS and Android App stores on February 14, 2022, Our.Love is a preventative technology focused on providing a fun, playful and effective modern-day solution for the nearly 60% of Americans that consider their top priority to be loving their current partner more and better, which is according to a broad market study conducted by Our Love Company.
“What I discovered as I dug into the science of happy loving is that the science is clear and consistent and has been for decades,” said Zlotnitsky, CEO of Our.Love. “The challenge, as it turns out, is that we have continued to rely on old world ways to try to access this knowledge, let alone retain it. We are too busy and too easily distracted for the occasional book or magazine article to truly stick with us. Plus, less than one in five couples go to therapy, so it is no wonder most of us experience love so unevenly!”
By combining science-based content delivered with brevity and humor, game mechanics, and artificial intelligence that detects and interprets human emotional signals, Our.Love aims to empower millions of individuals and couples to experience healthier and more joyful relationships.
“It is time to take advantage of what technology can offer to empower more and better love,” said healthcare executive, Our Love Company co-founder and early investor Tonya Coppin-Fox. “The concept behind our platform is that there are certain needs and objectives that technology is hugely and uniquely able to manifest, such as planning, tracking, measuring, and predicting. We blended machine learning with easily digestible knowledge and with something else technology is great for – which is play and fun. Research shows that play and fun is what most adults require to keep coming back – and coming back to deeply focus on our love, even for just a few minutes a day, is the key to sustainable happiness. This is why we created Our.Love.”
What began as a passion project for Tal has evolved into a once-in-a-generation opportunity to launch the relationship tech industry into the mainstream.
Zlotnitsky continued, “Love crosses all boundaries, including political divides, and the chance to empower hundreds of millions of romantic partners around the world towards relationship health through AI and technology is an incredibly thrilling opportunity. More love within our homes could provide a pathway to gentler, more loving communities, workplaces and even the greater society.
“It is pretty simple: We all want to love better, and we all want to be loved better. Love creates an abundant energy unlike anything else in the world and with Our.Love, couples can invest in their joy and connection every single day.”
Our Love Company’s Proven Leadership Team and Deep Network of External Resources
An Israel native, Zlotnitsky has founded or co-founded six substantial startups and has orchestrated three successful exits. Coppin-Fox founded a global health services company, including in her native Barbados, where she and her team have developed innovative and proprietary technology. The extended executive team has proven track records across product development, sales, marketing, data security, and CRM. Additionally, The Science Team is a bench of seasoned healthcare executives and experts in neuroscience and relationship wellness with domestic and international experience from major institutions such as Johns Hopkins Medicine, University of Virginia, Vancouver Island Centre for Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Pine Tree Institute and more.
