Hi, I’m Schuyler Rose, the founder of Eligible Brand.

Like a lot of people, I found myself exhausted by the world of digital dating—swiping, ghosting, small talk that never leads to anything real. But beyond that, I realized something deeper: even when I was out in the world, at the coffee shop or in line at the bookstore, I had no way of knowing who else out there might be open to connection. It felt like we were all missing each other.

That’s where Eligible began.

I wanted to create something simple, bold, and human. A way to signal, “Hey—I’m open to meeting someone, right here, right now, in the real world.” No apps, no pressure, no algorithms. Just presence.

Because I truly believe this:

There are still amazing people out there. People who want to be seen. People who are kind, intentional, and open to love. You might be walking right past them.

Eligible is a movement—a small rebellion against digital overload and a big step toward authentic connection. When you wear the hat, you’re saying you’re part of something better. You’re choosing to meet people doing what you love, where you already are. At the park. At a concert. At your favorite local spot.

Let’s delete the apps. Let’s bring dating back into the daylight.

Let’s connect—on purpose.

Welcome to the Eligible community. We’re so glad you’re here.
