FAST COMPANY - Sep 10 - What women want, is to meet men who are pre-vetted by other women, according to Jess and Ken Deckinger. On their new site, called Jess, Meet Ken, women can recommend eligible bachelors they know; single woman browsing the site can then either reach out to the man himself or to the woman who vouches for him. Jess, Meet Ken is designed to redistribute power in online dating by requiring women to initiate contact: Men are not allowed to send unsolicited messages to women. In 2001, Ken founded the first speed-dating website, HurryDate, which was later acquired by Spark Networks. Jess is a marketer with a Harvard MBA.
