WSJ – Zoosk made Wall Street Journals list of top VC backed companies, coming in at #42 out of 50. They were the only internet dating company on the list. Social networking oriented companies included Slide, Zynga and Rock You. The rankings were calculated based on the track record of success for the VC investors who sit on the company's board, the amount of capital raised the founding executives track record of success and the recent growth in the value of the company.

I can’t stand Zoosk. It’s a simple story of how the rich get richer. I prefer stories like plentyoffish, where an average guy becomes hugely successful from a very small beginning. Zoosk had millions of dollars to start of with. No wonder they are successful.
