Overview

• Lisa Catalano launched MarryLisa.com and went public on September 2 with digital billboards from South San Francisco to Santa Clara plus taxi‑top ads to target nearby commuters.
• Media coverage turbocharged traffic, bringing roughly 1,800 to nearly 2,000 applications, including some from outside the Bay Area and overseas.
• She is personally vetting submissions without AI and plans to sort applications with help from friends, with dates potentially recapped on TikTok while keeping identities private.
• Catalano’s stated criteria include a college‑educated, drug‑free partner aligned with her politics and religion, ideally age 35–45, ready for marriage and children within a few years, and living a healthy lifestyle.
