Mad2Moi Inner Circle

Inner Circle was founded in Amsterdam in 2012 with a clear positioning: manual profile selection to target graduate, urban, working singles. The promise is strong but the filtering is debatable, volume stays limited, and pricing is high-end. Here's how Mad2Moi differs from Inner Circle.
