The Story Behind Chivalry

Chivalry wasn’t built in a boardroom—it was born at a farmers’ market in Patchogue, NY, where Helen Cohen and James Carucci first crossed paths. Helen was running the market, bringing entrepreneurs together to showcase their businesses, while James had a booth promoting his own. They connected instantly—both driven, both relentless, both wired to create something bigger.
 
A few months later, James reached out with an idea: a dating app that actually worked. No more mindless swiping. No more meaningless matches. Just real connections, real security, and a smarter way to meet people.
 
Helen saw the vision immediately. What started as a branding project quickly became a movement. They spent countless hours, days and months refining the concept—breaking down everything wrong with modern dating and rebuilding it from the ground up.
 
Chivalry isn’t just another dating app—it’s a revolution. It’s about bringing back intention, trust, and real chemistry in a world that’s lost touch with what dating is supposed to be.
 
This isn’t just innovation. This is the future of connection.
