I am a girl and I think this is cool. I really don't like to ask guys "what do you do and where do you work?" but at the same time, I really dont want to date guys with no jobs. When are you planning to launch?

Exactly :) We are launching on September 16th. Sign up for our beta and we will send you the link to download the app

I hope the first page explain it all as to what we are trying to achieve. I have put lot of thought in designing the launch page and now need some feedback from you guys :)

Is there any matching algorithm? As presented, and it may be the case, it just seems like a large match up between companies. Reading the front page, it just says the person will be "new," nothing about the quality of the match.

I hope this means there will be lean hookups. Anything past the first date or few drinks is really a questionable use of investor's funds.

So our monetization model is to have the "date" initiator pay for a date once his or her date is accepted. To be honest, we want people to only pay when they get a date. I hate subscription to its core. Generally dating sites makes money on subscription which if you think about is saying "We(match.com, eHarmony etc) hope you dont get a date because then we will stop making money"
