Online Dating Expert

With over two decades of experience, I’ve built a reputation as one of the leading experts in the online dating industry.

In 2003, I founded what became the world’s largest privately owned online dating business.

Over 21 years, I led this company through the explosive growth and evolution of online dating—all without a single penny of external investment.

No angels. No venture capital. No private equity. Just relentless focus, innovative strategies, and an unwavering commitment to success.

At its peak, Venntro Media Group—a company I built from the ground up—employed nearly 200 people, generated close to $50 million in annual revenues and delivered an impressive $8 million EBITDA.

Over the years, we generated total revenues of nearly HALF A BILLION DOLLARS.

These achievements were entirely bootstrapped, making us one of the rare success stories in tech without external funding.

Our company wasn’t just a business; it was a multi-award-winning technology powerhouse. We were repeatedly recognised by The Sunday Times in their prestigious Fast Track, Profit Track, and International Track rankings.

On a personal level, I was honoured with accolades like the Institute of Directors’ Young Director of the Year and EY Entrepreneur of the Year, affirming my leadership and vision.

Venntro Media Group was the home of White Label Dating, the world’s largest dating platform.

Through this platform, we empowered hundreds of entrepreneurs to launch and scale their own branded dating sites. Many achieved financial independence, transforming side hustles into full-time businesses and creating lasting impact in their communities.

Over the years, I’ve witnessed dozens of online dating businesses rise and fall. It’s an incredibly competitive and rapidly evolving industry where even the best ideas can falter without the right strategy, execution, and insight.

In August 2024, after years of managed decline, I concluded the journey of Venntro Media Group with the sale of its portfolio - thousands of dating sites and millions of loyal customers as part of a pre-pack administration. You can read about this in my Linkedin post.

While the business has since closed, its legacy and impact remain.

Today, I’m available to help online dating startups, scale-ups, and investors maximise their chances of success in this challenging but rewarding space.

Whether you’re looking to launch, grow, or exit an online dating business, I bring unmatched expertise in strategy, scaling, monetization, and industry dynamics.

If you want to improve your chances of success investing in, building, or exiting a business in the online dating industry, let’s connect and turn your vision into reality.
