In 1994 Gary Kremen joined forces with partner Peng Tsin Ong to start Classifieds Inc. They raised US$1.7 million from Canaan Partners and started a service called match.com. I bet the partners at Cannan are very happy with their long shot. They also mention starting jobs.com, which is now a monster.com property. File under “do one thing right.” Trish McDermott, then of the International Society of Introduction Services, is now the Vice President of Romance for Match.com. While at ISIS The she co-wrote an industry Code of Ethics and helped consumers select dating services that would best meet their individual needs. Anyone have a pointer to a copy of this document?

From 2002-2019, David Evans helped entrepreneurs, investors, and the media, make sense of the online dating industry.
