Our Mission: Better Roommate Matches Through Science
We believe finding a compatible roommate shouldn't be a gamble. Domu Match is a science-driven platform that uses compatibility research to help students find roommates they'll actually get along with. Safety, transparency, and evidence-based matching guide everything we do.
Our Story
How we started, what drives us, and where we're headed.
University is supposed to be the most transformative chapter of your life, yet for millions of students, the excitement of an acceptance letter quickly fades into the anxiety of a housing lottery. We have seen this story play out too many times: brilliant students struggling to pass exams not because the coursework was too hard, but because their home environment was draining their energy. Domu Match was born from this silence - from the realization that while universities were excellent at teaching students what to learn, no one was helping them decide who to live with. We realized that in the high-stakes world of higher education, a compatible roommate isn't just a convenience; they are the difference between feeling isolated and feeling supported.
We refused to accept that your mental health should be left to chance, so we built the infrastructure to change it. By replacing random assignment with compatibility science, we help students find homes based on shared living values, daily rhythms, and mutual respect rather than just move-in dates. We bridge the gap between strangers, turning the daunting process of "finding a room" into the meaningful experience of building a micro-community. Our platform verifies every user and prioritizes privacy by design, ensuring that the technology works quietly in the background to create a foundation of trust before you ever unlock the front door.
This is about more than just a place to sleep; it is about reclaiming your home as a sanctuary. We believe that who you live with determines who you become during these critical years, which is why we are partnering with forward-thinking universities to make wellbeing-focused housing the new standard. Whether you are an international student navigating a new culture or a first-year leaving home for the first time, our mission remains the same: to ensure that when you close your books at the end of the day, you are coming home to a place where you can truly recharge, thrive, and be yourself.
