Keeper

What Keeper does

Keeper is a private B2B software company founded in 2020 and headquartered in Austin, Texas, that builds tools to help bookkeepers manage their clients' back-office operations. The company targets the bookkeeping professional segment — independent bookkeepers and small accounting practices handling multiple client engagements — and positions itself as workflow software for that user base. The company operates with a headcount in the 11-50 range and has one named executive in the available data: Kenny Song, serving as CTO.

The company has raised approximately $2.125 million in total disclosed funding across two 2021 rounds: a $125,000 investment from Y Combinator in August 2021, followed by a $2,000,000 seed round led by TwentyTwo VC in October 2021. No subsequent funding rounds, acquisitions, partnerships, product launches, or leadership additions have been disclosed. The company's primary web presence at keeper.icu has expired and is no longer resolvable, which is a material concern regarding operational continuity.

The pricing model, go-to-market motion, customer count, revenue, and detailed product feature set are not documented in the available sources. The firmographic data describes the product functionally as bookkeeping back-office software, while a separate source block in the input describes a consumer-facing AI dating platform branded as Keeper.AI; these two descriptions are internally inconsistent and cannot both describe the same operating entity, so the B2B bookkeeping description from firmographic data has been treated as the authoritative first-party account.

Direct peers

• Bumble: Bumble is a leading consumer dating app with a similar mobile-first, swipe/match messaging interface. Keeper.AI is explicitly distributed alongside Bumble in app marketplaces and targets the same online-dating user persona, making it a direct competitive peer.
• Tinder: Tinder is the largest consumer dating app globally and the archetype for swipe-based matchmaking that Keeper.AI's algorithm-based matching competes against. Same target customer, same core use case (romantic match discovery), same mobile distribution.
• Hinge: Hinge is a relationship-focused dating app positioned around "designed to be deleted" and curated profiles — directly relevant as Keeper.AI targets the same pain points (swipe fatigue, weak profiles, low-quality matches) with AI tooling.
• Hily: Hily is an AI-powered dating app that, like Keeper.AI, emphasises AI-driven matching, video, and content-based discovery. Closest direct peer in terms of explicit AI-first dating positioning.
• Coffee Meets Bagel: Coffee Meets Bagel is a curated dating app targeting users fatigued by endless swiping — the same core user Keeper.AI's AI tooling is designed to serve. Same mobile app distribution and subscription model.

Emerging players

• Iris Dating: Iris Dating uses AI for physical-attraction-based matchmaking. Comparable to Keeper.AI as a smaller, AI-native dating entrant, but with a narrower matching signal (attraction) versus Keeper.AI's broader profile+message+matches stack.
• Snack: Snack is a video-first dating app that has integrated AI moderation and matching features. Overlaps with Keeper.AI on AI-enabled dating experiences but differentiated by its short-video core mechanic.

Broad incumbents

• Match Group: Match Group owns Tinder, Hinge, Match.com, OkCupid, Plenty of Fish and others. As the broader incumbent portfolio operating across the dating category, it sets the competitive baseline Keeper.AI must beat on network effects, brand, and capital.
• Facebook Dating: Facebook Dating is Meta's integrated dating product — explicitly named as a same-channel competitor in Keeper.AI's marketplace context. Free, social-graph-backed incumbent that sets a high bar on cold-start distribution.
• Plenty of Fish: Plenty of Fish is a long-standing mainstream dating app under Match Group, broadly comparable as a general-consumer dating destination competing for the same online-dater persona as Keeper.AI.
