- Product Description
- Gelato melds real-time search with online dating. We leverage your Facebook profile, Twitter account, Netflix queue, Pandora stations, and other social media channels to build a dynamic, multifaceted stream that updates your account automatically. It takes less than 2 minutes to create a profile. That profile is verified and accurate because it reflects what you're actually doing, making it harder to create fake profiles and easier to meet like-minded people.
- Market Opportunity
- Online dating is the third-largest revenue producer of all paid content sites, worth $1 billion (Next Up Research). The opportunity is that this market is dominated by old-style sites like Match.com and eHarmony. Social networks are increasingly popular, but don't offer dating-specific search.
- DEMO Says
- Onine dating is out, stream dating is in. Gelato plans to transform your online dating experience from one of browsing static, carefully-crafted profiles, to that of dynamic, real-time streams of information. By pulling data from users Facebook profiles, Twitter accounts, Netflix queues, Flickr photos, Last.fm listens, and other social media channels, Gelato will provide real-time dating profiles for users to view and interact with. This, combined with an authenticity scoring system may bring new life to an old ritual.
