Smartdate is presented as a dating app focused on helping people move from casual interactions to real dating. TechCrunch ran a headline announcing that the company "takes another €3.5 million." The article did not provide detail on the product features, target markets, or specific future plans. No information on how the newly raised funds will be allocated was included in the piece. The report also did not disclose operating metrics such as revenue or user counts. Additional context such as prior funding rounds, investors, founding year, or location was not provided in the article. Smartdate uses Facebook Connect and a “Smartsearch” to let users search for single people among friends-of-friends, with community-influenced recommendations. The service launched an Alpha and is available in six European languages (French, English, Spanish, German, Italian and Dutch). It operates a pay-as-you-go model so users pay only for what they use. The company raised a total of €2 million in seed funding and plans to use the money primarily for marketing. Management has set an objective of reaching one million users by the end of the year. Smartdate was founded by Fabrice Le Parc, who previously launched be2.com in France and the Benelux.
