They created an account and poked around but we're both over 30 which I think is an auto-reject.

There are teams where everyone is over 30, and at least a few where the founders include people older than pg.

Granted, but fairly certain PG never looked at our company. This isn't the early days.

Whatever helps you sleep at night, but just know, that's entirely not the case :-)

I don't think so. They have had co-founders over 30 before.

Know I'll never win this, and it's not absolute but there is a bias.

"entirely." Just mostly.

Grindr got traction because it removed all the friction by being a sleek iPhone app. How's this different from other web-based hook up sites?

Well picture this as our storefront (Mobile app in works). We decided to build a website first, flesh out our API for a mobile app, and give user access to his/her account via web and mobile(soon). Our main difference to Grindr or any other app in our market is that we are open to anyone regardless of sexual orientation. But I do appreciate your question :)

Yeah, I don't know anyone who got grindr for this.*

Grindr solves the problem of "I want to find someone nearby for sex." Now, I know people who have found friends and relationships through it, but that's not why they downloaded grindr.

Does this get anyone to fucking any sooner? If no, then it's not grindr. (or scruff...)

NOW... if you want to infiltrate this space, make it HTML5 only, and allow X-rated pictures on it. Make it seamless for android and iphone to install (particularly iphone) and you have a market.

But you need to look deeper into the market (particularly adult friend finder!) to understand the problems attracting women. Also check the okcupid blogs about their experiences and data. Women, in general, don't respond. I think an interesting experiment would be to have a service where only women could initiate, because otherwise they're bombarded and men rarely see return emails.

(* I say this as a gay man who has played with grindr and who has many friends with it, but is in a happy relationship.)

Love the comment. Maybe I should use another phrase other than "have a great time"I tried to keep it a bit G-rated. Maybe not the best way to go about. But Thanks again

Exactly what Apple has been doing forever and they have piles of cash to show for it.

You tell them you're not comfortable with the timeline and Perl but never refuse. Try your best. Maybe you learn something, maybe you don't. That's work!
