"We are focused on providing our users with the quickest way to meet other singles for live online dates. No other dating site allows you to log on and be matched on live dates immediately."

Launched only ten months ago, SpeedDate already has millions of users in 190 different countries, and has been growing at 50% per month. SpeedDate hosts over 100,000 online speed dates every day, estimated to be more daily speed dates than occur offline in the entire United States.

"We have been impressed with SpeedDate.com's phenomenal growth rate and we are confident that it is well positioned to capture significant market share and expand the online dating category."

SpeedDate.com, the world's first online speed dating site, was launched in October of 2007.
