WooMe Attracts $3 Million More

WooMe, the online speed dating site that launched at TechCrunch40 and I previously reviewed, announced yesterday that they recieved another $3 million funding. The round was led by Mangrove Capital and included previous investor Atomico and a few others as well.

According to Stephen Stokols, founder and CEO:

“With this funding we can focus our efforts on improving the user experience, releasing key functionalities to our live introductions platform, and expanding our international presence where we are enjoying early success.”

There are a few things that are nearly guaranteed revenue generators on the Web and obviously online dating is one of them so I am not surprised to see WooMe attracting money like online daters.

WooMe? Now Woo Anyone

WooMe, an online speed dating site that I previously covered, has officially opened up for business by launching into public beta today. I first met WooMe some of the WooMe team at TechCrunch40 in September. Then last month, WooMe launched into private alpha. I got a chance to take a look at it and was impressed with its addictive qualities.

You might want to categorize this one under mindless fun online. Paird is an online dating site that enables you to take part in  matchmaking by simply visiting the site and matching men to women or women to men. Though mindless fun, you might be actually helping someone get hooked up with a date online. As a Paird user, if you are "paired" up with someone else online you get a chance to thumbs up or thumbs down the pairing.
