Another example that comes to my mind is Markus Frind, owner of PlentyOfFish. Did he every sell a part of it? I think he kept everything. And makes like 10 million a year. Not sure if that qualifies as "Hypergrowth". What do you guys think?
- hkarthik 12y agoMarkus Frind was in the right place at the right time. When he launched PlentyOfFish, most dating sites were subscription-based and he came up with an ad-based revenue model. By being free for users when there were no alternatives, he quickly got viral growth. I'm not sure you could emulate his success today in wake of Tinder and other free mobile dating apps that are venture funded and continue to grow at an exponential rate.
