Company Profile – Speeddate

Posted on November 5, 2011
  Speeddate logo
Speeddate.com was launched in 2007 and is fast becoming one of the biggest online dating sites.  It claims to have over 13 million members in 235 countries.  The founders of Speeddate.com grew tired of the more traditional method of online dating.  They believed that the process of creating a profile, searching for people, emailing potential matches and eventually meeting up took too long.  They wanted to revolutionize the way people met online and to speed up the process of getting to know if you click with someone.  Members of Speeddate.com engage in unlimited 5 minute live speedates with other singles in their area.  They can choose to do this on their home PC or through the Speeddate dating App.  Speeddate.com is a privately owned company with Menlo Venture providing capital.
