Good Friday everyone!
I want to talk about what a small business we decided to do with friends. I publish the article not so much for the purpose of public relations, as with the desire to get acquainted with the opinion of the public, so thanks in advance to those who write their opinions, or provide reasonable criticism.

So the idea.
It all began, as usual, with the problems that each of us faced more than once, I am sure. The question - where to get acquainted with a girl or a young man - is all acute. Dating sites do not suit me much - I do not want to spend a lot of time on correspondence, especially since the adequacy of people remains questionable after correspondence. Meet what is called, in real life, not enough time.
So, there is such a dating model, which has been successfully operating in the West for 10 years, and is called Speed Dating. Format - 20 mini-meetings for 5 minutes. It is considered (and it seems to us, quite adequately) that during this time one can understand whether a person is interesting to you or not.
Competitors.
The business is not as interesting as, say, the sale and resale of goods, so there are not many competitors in Runet, and most of them work in the regions. The peculiarity of this business is in the complexity of its scaling, therefore there is enough space for everyone. Among the good projects (assessing the quality of the site, not on holding meetings) there was, for example, the St. Petersburg project - speeddating.su.
Embodiment.
First, we have defined several rules according to which we will work - no shooting at events, complete confidentiality of participants and the inability to communicate on the site between the participants of the upcoming meeting.
Secondly, we found partners - a cafe in the center of Moscow, made a website -
speeddates.ru , and next Sunday we will have a dating party. The first meeting will allow us to go to zero, and then we will start earning a little.
Here, in fact, the whole story is interesting to hear your opinion :)
