A Technologically-Advanced Innovative Internet Personals Site, Offers New Members Free Unlimited Access for A Limited Time
NEW YORK, Nov. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Mix one part singles industry veteran
party promoter with four parts entrepreneurial whiz-kids, and you've cooked
up the Internet personals industry's most dynamic and technologically
advanced site yet. MatchedUp.com, (www.matchedup.com) launching today,
an artful collaboration of young and older single minds, offers all new
members one full month of unlimited full-feature access. Unprecedented
in the online personals space, all new members registering over the next
four weeks will have complimentary access to every feature of this technologically
advanced personals site including secure two-way calling, voice mail and
more. MatchedUp.com's bleeding-edge technology features the most advanced
security functionalities available in the Internet personals space including
a proprietary certification feature that assures member authenticity.
While the average age of entrepreneurs is between 35 and 44 years old,
many of the co-founders of MatchedUp.com are 23 and under. "I've
grown up in an Internet dating world," states Lee Mandel, age 22,
co-founder and CEO of MatchedUp.com. "I've experienced first-hand
the best and worst of successful Internet dating sites and have seen where
competitive sites have fallen short. As entrepreneurs and developers literally
teethed on technology, we developed cutting edge features that enable
MatchedUp.com to stand out as a superior place to meet like-minded people,"
Mandel added. MatchedUp.com's team of young entrepreneurial co-founders
also includes Matthew Levin, age 22, Manny Goldman, age 23, and Adam Gotterer
age 19, with seasoned singles industry event management impresario, Roy
Feicco, age 41, as the company's president.
Feicco's extensive management experience and senior level hospitality and club management familiarity will aid in maximizing the company's online synergy at off-line events. "We provide members with the ability to sign up for off-line activities, including our own proprietary 'speed dating' events where they can meet multiple singles in a series of four-minute dates," said Roy Feicco, president of MatchedUp.com. "We chose Nancy Tamosaitis of Vorticom as our public relations agency because of the award-winning campaign she orchestrated last year for a competitor in our space."
"MatchedUp.com members have access to the most advanced, yet simple to use, features including voice mail, anonymous and secure two-way calling, instant messaging, games and chat rooms," said Matthew Levin, chairman of MatchedUp.com. To meet the needs of busy singles that demand instantaneous meetings, Levin developed the innovative "Go Out Now" feature that allows members to see who's available to click in person with that very day.
"There is a growing acceptance of technology-based dating services as a highly effective means of meeting others," said Manny Goldman, Chief Operating Officer. "MatchedUp.com offers a safe and convenient way to meet New York and tri-state area singles, as well as a growing community of members from other parts of the country," Goldman added.
While their contemporaries are laboring to find their first entry-level job, MatchedUp.com represents the third entrepreneurial venture for Mandel, Levin and Goldman. Goldman found earlier success with his company Total Oxygen (www.totaloxygen.com), the global leader in providing Oxygen Bars to worldwide venues. Mandel and Levin, childhood friends, also own and operate two other ventures including Fast Lane Technologies (www.FLTechnologies.com) a technology company offering Internet and advertising solutions and Your Direct Marketing Group (www.ydmg.com), a one-stop marketing company that combines traditional marketing with state-of-the-art technology. Goldman is also a partner with Mandel and Levin in the Your Direct Marketing Group venture.
