Maple Match was a proposed online dating service with the stated goal of matching Americans with Canadian citizens for romantic partnerships that would also allow these Americans to immigrate to Canada.[1] The company was founded by Joe Goldman in Austin, Texas .[2]
The site first launched in May 2016 after Donald Trump became the presumptive nominee of the Republican Party and in its first week approximately 13,000 people had requested to join, a quarter of whom were Canadian - even though the app was still unreleased.[1] The company reported that its user base "almost doubled" when Trump's victory was announced on the night of the 2016 United States presidential election.[3] Goldman has responded to claims that the site is satirical by maintaining that it is a completely serious dating service.[4]
As of September 2020, the application has not been launched and the website has expired.
