Construct

What Construct does

Construct is a virtual-world technology company founded in 2019 and headquartered in Shanghai with a Singapore-domiciled entity, employing 101–250 people. Its flagship product, Litmatch, is a social networking platform that uses an intelligent matching engine and personalized recommendation algorithms to connect users based on interests, preferences, and emotional needs such as love, trust, and understanding. The platform supports multimedia interaction and, since 2022, creative tools that allow users to express creativity within the virtual world; communications are protected through encrypted privacy technology. By 2021, Litmatch had accumulated 10,000,000+ active users across more than 12 countries in Southeast Asia (Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines), the Middle East (Turkey, Egypt), and Latin America (Brazil, Mexico, Colombia), with a stated 300% annual growth rate.

Construct targets individual consumers globally rather than enterprise customers, distributing through mobile app stores with a self-service, product-led go-to-market model that relies on word-of-mouth and in-platform referrals. The revenue model is described as freemium — matching and interaction features appear free while premium features are available for purchase — although pricing is not publicly disclosed and no revenue figures are available. Operational presence spans 6 countries with online user coverage in 12+; the company is privately held and founder Vincent remains the sole named executive. Limited disclosed financial activity includes a 2022 funding event from Aqua Ventures, with no further capital structure, M&A, or partnership activity disclosed.
