Welcome to the WinkVid blog, where you’ll soon find a mix of dating and startup tips, tricks, and advice. If you’re single and/or interested in startups, you’re in the right place.

In the world of startups and new companies, we tend to get a lot of value from others’ contributions and feel we might have something to give back. As a startup competing in an insanely competitive market (online dating) we’re making mistakes, learning a ton, and occasionally getting something right. Follow along as we share our adventures, tips, and tricks as a startup with a small chance of making it.

Of course, we won’t be all business. Online dating is huge and established, but not without its problems. We hope to shake things up a bit, make online dating more fun and personal, and change expectations of what online dating can be. As a start, we have our online live-video speed dating events which are a really fun, easy way to meet 10 local singles in an hour. Currently we’re only in Chicago but hope to quickly change that.

If you’ve read this post, a big thanks to you. We don’t expect many readers initially, but if we do our job well, we’ll expect to see you back
