OPW - The latest IDEA Summit was enriched by the presence of Match Group and institutional investors in New York last week. See photos here.
In the morning, investment bankers gave us an overview of the current investment environment and then we had 5 CEOs do individual presentations. After a half hour lunch, we heard from Gen Z's about their thoughts and advice on dating apps. Then we moved to a fascinating Q&A with the President and CFO of Match, Gary Swidler. The final two panels of the day were on the topics of future growth catalysts, and the International competitive landscape and challenges. These panels featured CEOs from ParshipMeet Group, Marc Schachtel and the CEO of happn, Karima ben Abdelmalek, along with the CFO of Grindr, Vanna Krantz.
See event website for speakers, agenda, and for the first time, a few dating CEO attendees. The feedback was that it was the best IDEA Summit yet.
Thanks to our event partner Evercore ISI for making this an exemplary and rich experience. Thanks to our speakers for their wisdom, and our signature sponsor ParshipMeet Group for making this event possible. Thanks also to sponsors RealMe, and Matchmaker.com, and Courtland Brooks.
