Interview with Grant Kuo of GroupMingle
  |
“Groupmingle”:http://www.groupmingle.com is an invitation based, event social network for singles.
Grant would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. |
Why do we need another dating website?
There are 900 dating site out there, 99% are doing same thing: subscription/online email/offline hookup with extreme low success rate. Majority is in it for quick bucks. Groupmingle aims at letting singles social with each other in a natural way: finding the right one from people they actually met through events happening around them.
How did you get the idea to do this site?
Besides all the right reasons, I am actually good at throwing parties and bringing people together, i.e. party starter, as being told by a LasVegas stripper a year ago.
What is your marketing plan for growth?
It’s not easy to have a viral effect for a dating site. Our main strategy is letting events and virtual activity resonate, attempt smart use of new media, plus marketing things everyone else knows as well.
Bonus: Are you single?
hmmmm….
