ivydate, helping you find smart and driven singles

with Beri Meric

Beri Meric, co-founder of ivydate and a principal of ExistVenture, a venture development firm specializing in the creation of niche networking platforms joins Enterprise Radio.

Listen to host Eric Dye & guest Beri Meric discuss the following:

  • Tell us about ivydate – what makes it different than any other dating site?
  • Why is it so hard to meet great people these days, and how does ivydate aim to address these challenges?
  • There is an ongoing discussion surrounding the so-called “pseudo-science” of online dating algorithms, and whether computer-based matching can ever really replace meeting people face to face. How would you weigh in on this?
  • ivydate’s online magazine, CheckMate, aims to examine the intellectual side of love – can you tell us a bit about how that got started, and how you’ve managed to differentiate yourself in the very crowded space of love & relationship blogs?
  • What’s been your greatest success as a business to date?
