What Company Is Offering:
WooMe brings the speed dating craze online and extends it to let users meet new people live in fast, fun and free speed sessions. There are no long forms or lengthy profile descriptions, simply find a session that interests you and meet 5 people in 5 minutes. Or, create your own sessions based on your interests. Invite friends or strangers to play with you and immediately decide if you are woo'd by someone.
How It Works:
WooMe's in-browser video and voice capability delivers a live interactive experience where users play for fun, to hook up, or just meet new people around shared interests. There are no tedious profiles, no software to download, and best of all it's free.
Backed by Niklas Zennström's (Skype Founder) Atomico Investments, the original investors in Skype (Mangrove Capital), and Klaus Hommels (Europe's Investor of the Year, 2006), WooMe is catapulting the $1 billion+ speed dating market into the online world. With WooMe, meeting people online is transformed into a live interactive experience that makes sifting through contrived profiles a thing of the past.
How Much They Got From VCs:
They have announced a $3 million bridge round, led by Mangrove and previous investors Atomico (which was founded by Nikas Zennstrom and Janus Friis), and Klaus Hommels. WooMe has also added the help of Oliver Jung to aid with the company’s international expansion.
