I think it could scale the same way that, say, a massage parlor scales: by hiring and training more people. Except in this case you don't run into space limitations since everything is done online. If folks are willing to pay their premium rates [1], it could work! $350/mo is pretty steep, but I'd rather pay that and get results than $0/mo and no dates.

- laurenkay 12y agoThanks Meerko, right on point. The more people using your service, the less work for each matchmaker. Most premium matchmakers spend most of their time recruiting. We don't need to do that since we have so many users. We also have a lot of technology that automates the non-personal stuff, like sorting through age, height, etc. In terms of knowing what people are looking for - we met our first few thousand users and arranged a few thousand dates by hand. We learned a lot about what matters, and what doesn't - for instance, how active people are tends to matter a lot more than their political preferences. I hate to pull the whole 'proprietary' card, but we're not very public about how we match beyond that .. will try to add more info to the site soon.
