“A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.” — Mignon McLaughlin
In 2025, love still asks for courage and care. All these dating apps promise reach across millions. However, the heart asks for discernment. Sacha Jack built her craft around that truth.
Sacha’s journey began at home, when she found out that her mother had been swindled on a dating app. She thought, “There has to be a better way!” She says that her mom is a wonderful nurse who is also caring, selfless and deeply giving. And that she learned kindness and the desire to help people from her mom.
Sacha has always been fascinated by human behaviour and emotional dynamics, and she believes love remains the greatest motivator in the world. She began noticing a growing epidemic of loneliness and disconnection, especially among high-achieving, successful individuals who had built empires but not meaningful relationships.
“Many of my friends and people in my social circle refuse to use dating apps, as they don’t want their faces/photos displayed publicly. While these dating apps seem to offer convenience, they often leave people feeling more isolated,” Sacha expressed. Thus, she set out to restore the human element in dating and built a boutique service where every introduction carries a clear intention and a sense of responsibility.
Today, Sacha is known as an elite matchmaking expert in Africa. She is the first MMI-accredited matchmaker on the continent. She runs a boutique, founder-led service that values integrity, intuition, and intention. She meets clients herself, listens for readiness, and curates introductions with privacy and precision. Even though technology supports her process, people remain at the centre.
Sacha’s community grows by trust. She believes love is an unfolding story and she helps couples write the chapters with care. For those who value discretion and depth, she offers a path that feels safe and sincere. In a noisy world, she creates space for two people to truly see each other. That is her work. That is her signature.
One of the most challenging aspects of Sacha’s journey was having no local peers to collaborate with, whereas in the United States, matchmakers often work together. “I’ve felt a bit like a lone ranger, but I’m also proud to be a trailblazer,” she added.
Another challenge for Sacha has been educating people on what matchmaking really is and how it works. She hopes her journey inspires more people to enter this profession, because it truly is sacred work and a profound honour.
A Medium for Genuine Connections
Sacha Jack Matchmaking is nothing short of a movement. It’s a boutique, high-touch service where every match is intentional, every introduction is curated, and every client is treated with care, discretion and honesty.
Sacha also hosts Women’s Networking Events for her members, helping them connect professionally as well as personally. “I’m a connector at heart. If I can’t match you in love, I’ll still find a way to connect you with opportunities, people or resources,” she added.
Sacha also offers commission to anyone who introduces a member who is successfully matched with a client. If they prefer, that commission can be ‘paid forward’ to her charity, which supports young adults leaving orphanages, helping them find jobs so they’re not left on the streets when they turn 18.
She donates a percentage of her turnover to this fund as well. This mission comes from years of personally volunteering at an orphanage and recognising the urgent need to support older teenagers who are usually abandoned.
When it comes to integrating technology in her business, Sacha uses it to enhance and not replace, the process. She uses secure platforms with end-to-end 256-bit encryption, to manage client profiles and conduct video interviews.
She also tracks behavioural insights and feedback after dates to improve the matchmaking precision. That said, Sacha believes no algorithm can replace intuition. “Human connection is far too nuanced for automation alone. Technology supports our work, but people always lead the process,” she added.
A Philosophy of Excellence
Sacha expresses that everything she does, both personally and professionally, is rooted in integrity, intuition, and intention. She believes in showing up with kindness, but also with clarity. She values honesty, even when it’s uncomfortable, and believes the best outcomes are born from transparency, emotional maturity and aligned values.
“In my business, I prioritize sincere depth over the superficial. I’m not here to sell fantasy. I’m here to facilitate real connection. That means being honest with clients when they need to work on themselves, encouraging personal growth and reminding them that love isn’t something we find, it’s something we become ready for, something we prepare ourselves to receive,” Sacha expressed.
Sacha’s leadership style is intuitive, empowering, and emotionally intelligent. She leads with heart, but also with high standards. She believes in creating safe spaces where people can feel encouraged to be honest, to grow, to evolve and to be held accountable.
Over time, Sacha has become more grounded and unapologetic. “I no longer try to be everything to everyone. I now lead with alignment, only working with people and who share my values, and trusting that the right connections create the best results,” she added.
We asked Sacha what she believes sets her apart as a founder and industry leader in the matchmaking space. In her reply, Sacha said, “Beyond being the first accredited matchmaker in Africa, what sets me apart is the way I blend emotional intelligence with strategy.”
She doesn’t match people based solely on checklists. She matches them based on energetic compatibility, shared values, and emotional readiness. She’s deeply involved in the process and personally gets to know each client to curate introductions with intention and definite purpose.
Sacha launched her business on Valentine’s Day this year and has already celebrated successful matches. Several more couples are currently dating, and she’s excited to see how those relationships evolve. “Even before starting my company, I had matched several couples, all of whom are now married with children and still happily together. That is truly rewarding,” Sacha added.
Imparting the Keys to success
We asked Sacha to share one piece of advice she’d give to aspiring entrepreneurs. Sacha said, “Don’t wait for permission. If you feel called to do something, it’s likely because the world needs you to start doing it. Trust your inner voice. I believe we are all born to help people in some way.”
Quoting Nelson Mandela she adds: You playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. “Never shrink yourself to fit someone else’s comfort zone. Build the room you want to walk into and then open the door for others.”
On a concluding note, Sacha says, “Your love story isn’t behind you, it’s still unfolding. Whether you’ve had heartbreaks, disappointments or feel like you’ve missed your chance, you haven’t. The moment you decide you’re ready to love again, everything can change. I’m here to walk that journey with you.”
