ABOUT

We know how hard it is out there. You’re inundated with options, yet it rarely works out the way you envisioned. The match looks perfect on paper, but when you’re sitting across from them on the date, there’s no spark. You check many of each other’s boxes but there’s no vibe. 

Chemistry is that ineffable, hard-to-pinpoint quality that dictates whether or not you and your partner vibe. It’s the difference between the clock ticking slowly with awkward pauses and the night flying by with effortless conversation. A person’s energy, their aura, is the key ingredient that’s often overlooked, yet it’s the main determinant of connection.

At ORA, we believe energy over algorithms. Attraction isn’t something that can be reduced to data points; it’s something you feel. What’s attractive to one person might not be to another because it’s all about energy and alignment.

Enter ORA, the first matchmaking Network built around energy as our guiding light. Founded by a creative who approaches matchmaking with an intuitive, artful lens, ORA looks past the numbers and beyond the labels. We focus on essence, on who someone is at their core. Through in-depth conversations and intentional questions, we uncover each person’s natural rhythm, style, and aura so that matches feel aligned, not forced.

ORA doesn’t just conjure aura; it’s a word layered with meaning. In Italian, it signifies the present hour, the now. In Hebrew, it means light, perfectly symbolizing energy and presence. We believe one’s ORA is everything, and we’re devoted to capturing it and harnessing it to create connections that make sense energetically, not just statistically.

  • Admission is by application only. Each candidate is personally reviewed to ensure alignment with the energy, values, and caliber of our network.

  • We believe the most meaningful connections are felt before they’re understood. That’s why we match by resonance, not just résumés.

  • Effortless date coordination is built into the network, ensuring seamless communication, gentle accountability, no flakiness, and a smooth experience from introduction to in-person connection.

  • Calibration is the art of fine-tuning, understanding not just who someone is on paper but how their energy, pace, and rhythm align with another. Dating apps don’t offer the option to calibrate — to learn, adjust, and get closer with each introduction. Here, we do.

  • What sets ORA Selective apart is its deeper, more intentional approach to connection. While most apps & agencies rely on checklists, ORA looks beyond characteristic matches to create introductions that are energetically aligned and genuinely resonant.

    There’s no shortage of what one might find attractive on a surface level, but attraction lives in energy — how someone moves, communicates, and makes you feel.

    Drawing from over a decade in the matchmaking industry, founder Liana Bell built ORA using her knowledge/study and curiosity of people to curate connections that go beyond compatibility and into genuine alignment
