THE SCOTSMAN - July 24 - Cupid has bought French peer Assistance Genie Logiciel (AGL) from private equity fund Financiere PES for €3.7M (£2.9M). AGL’s 25 staff in Paris run three websites, two of which – Amour.com and SeRencontrer.com – follow traditional models, while the third, Ulla.com, is “somewhat racier”, analysts said. Cupid does not disclose revenue by country but it is estimated that the revenue run-rate in France prior to today’s acquisition was ~€6M.”
