About eHarmony
With over four million users, eHarmony is the Internet's fastest growing relationship service. Founded by relationship expert, best-
selling author and psychologist Dr. Neil Clark Warren, eHarmony is the first and only online dating site dedicated exclusively to
helping serious singles build lasting relationships for life-long love and happiness. eHarmony's patented matching technology is
based on more than 35 years of empirical and clinical research on successful marriages, and it is the only site that brings singles together
using a scientifically-proven set of compatibility principles that are key to marital success. Since it's inception in 2000,
eHarmony has been the first step down the aisle for thousands of its users. eHarmony is a private company headquartered in
Pasadena, California and on the Web at www.eharmony.com.
Unique differentiators
- Intelligent matching for lifelong relationships
eHarmony is different from other online dating services and photo personal sites. It is better described as a relationship-building
service. All eHarmony members are searching for the same thing: a serious, long-term relationship. In addition, only eHarmony
has an in-depth personality profile and a patented matching methodology based on more than 35 years of research into the factors that
contribute to successful marriages.
- Expert Guidance
eHarmony's system was developed by Ph.D. psychologists, led by Dr. Neil Clark Warren, relationship expert and best-selling
author of several books on dating, life-long love and successful marriage.
- Member commitment
Unlike casual dating and photo personal sites, eHarmony requires a significant investment of time and effort. Based on the
premise that finding a mate for life is the most important decision a person can make, eHarmony membership takes dedication
and perseverance.
Funding
eHarmony is venture-funded by Fayez Sarofim & Co. The company is an Internet and business success story, built with one round
of $3MM, and cash flow positive within two years of launch.
