Because I was the Acting CTO for eHarmony at it's start, I quite often get introduced to people who have an idea for a startup company that is based on some kind of matching algorithm. They describe the company as the eHarmony of careers, clothes, jobs, college, tutoring services, doctors, service companies, investments, etc.

Let me go back and do my classic search for "eHarmony of" startup and find a few examples to use: People to Projects (Managers) People to Jobs (Hiring Managers) Students to Tutors Each of these involve matching people to people (I’ve stayed away from content matching in these examples). What do I mean by this?

eHarmony for start-up / advisor relationships? I've recently begun a round table that I'm hoping will help in a small way, but even there it's going to barely scratch the surface. Maybe Andrew, Chris and I will figure out a way to address the friction around this. Actually, the friction is even higher trying to find a partner for a start-up.

Because of our work on eHarmony, we often find matching as a core component of systems. Still I think the concept is fantastic if the model can be figured out to make it work. It's funny to hear Betsy describe it as dating for product placement. Interesting to hear Betsy say that the technology was not differentiated.
