Found this on Craigslist, company is trying to compete with Eharmony. I just got off the phone with Eharmony’s PR firm, expect more info on the status of the company shortly.
COMPANY DESCRIPTION: LoveEnsureâ„¢ (Relationship Technologies LLC):
LoveEnsureâ„¢ is a breakthrough marriage (committed relationship) saving/enrichment internet startup with a huge potential market ready to take off, having achieved the following:
– A finished beta tested application, based on best research and practices
– Finished business plan and financials (which was selected among 7 out of 80 finalists to compete in the UC Berkeley S of Biz finalists BP competition in April)
– Upcoming meetings with two huge potential strategic partners and two investors
– A talented strategic partner/investor consultant
– A founder with a decent entrepreneurial background and has his PhD from Harvard and UC Berkeley in Educational Psychology
– A mentor, who has been highly successful in the software industry
LoveEnsure provides couples with a web-application-based “ongoing interactive relationship-management� tool or service. In pioneering this market via the internet, we envision Love-Insure™ becoming as much the portal of choice for couples as match.com is for singles. LoveEnsure™ draws on the latest most definitive research on long lasting happy marriages, and on some of the best practices for saving marriages on the verge of divorce.
LoveEnsure is intended to be the most ongoing, accessible, procrastination-minimizing, individually tailored, positive feedback-giving, most cost-effective tool for enriching, strengthening, and thereby divorce and affair-proofing committed relationships today.
The potential market :
– the 15%-20% of the 65 million couples (in USA alone) dissatisfied with their marriages
– the possibly equally large percentage of moderately satisfied couples wishing to make their marriages even better
– couples just starting out on internet dating sites afraid of the relationship fizzling out
– businesses like health corporations who pay for marital therapy sessions, or psychological treament (since much of the treatment stems from maritial discord)
– marital therapists, pastors, rabbis, priests
– large employers
– and much more that can create large or larger revenue streams
I was intrigued until I read this:
Proceeds: All surplus revenues under founder’s control will go to fund progressive causes especially causes to increase democracy and also to stop GLOBAL WARMING.
Huh?
