I’ve been holding back on this for a while now but I can finally tell you a bit about a new site that I think could have a good chance at heralding in the next generation of online dating.
Engage.com Launches World’s First Online Relationship Community Where People Help People Find Love Through Personal Introductions
Press release.
Engage was founded by Suneet Wadhwa (co-founder of Snapfish.com, a recent HP acquisition) and also has industry notable Trish McDermott on board. You might recognize Trish as the previous Vice President of Romance at Match.com.
Disclaimer: I worked with Engage during the launch.
I’m a big fan of the concept of people matching people. There is no scientific testing. The execution looks great and the site is coming out when singles are looking for something different. Features include references, reputation and a built-in Matchmaker community on the site.
Early members who are daters will receive a free six-month membership, a $200 value, with no credit card required to join. It’s free to be an Engage matchmaker.
Check out Engage.com and come back and share your initial reaction here. I’m interested to see what the dating industry insiders think about the concept and the execution..
