Badoo: Dating Site That Attracted 140 Million People

Posted on March 19, 2012

Badoo logoINDEPENDENT.CO.UK – Mar 19 – Badoo is one of Britain's biggest online success stories and has amassed 140M users a month. Badoo is essentially a dating site that also allows users to pretend they're only looking to make new friends. Most people use the site just to chat, with 20% going on to date. An average user will speak to between six and 10 people a month and meet between two and four of them. The idea has proved more popular in Latin countries than in Britain or the United States – only 1 million or so of the monthly users are based in the UK (60% are male and one third are over 35).

    The USA and UK have been spoiled for choice with a flurry of social discovery and dating startups. Non-English countries don’t have so many options, so Badoo has focused on owning foreign markets. Good move.
