#1395 How Attractive World founder sold a “hard-to-exit” dating site
A few weeks ago today’s guest sold his company but one of the fascinating things to me is that it was a dating company.
Andrew Chen wrote an article about why investors don’t fund dating sites. They have built in churn because once you match someone they no longer need the site, dating has a short shelf-life, paid acquisition is expensive, and it’s a hard company to exit.
Dating sites are tough to build, grow and make successful but today’s guest did all that. I want to find out how.
Ludovic Huraux is the founder of Attractive World, a french dating site that was acquired by Affinitas.
