About Us

Spark Networks is a leading provider of online personals in the United States and internationally. Our communities offer convenient and safe places for likeminded singles to connect. Many of these connections lead to long term relationships and—quite often—marriage.

Because our extensive member profiles allow consumers to "screen" potential dates before meeting them, they save time and increase the likelihood of successful matches. Our services are broadly affordable and offer a wider range of potential companions. Of course, they are also accessible 24 hours a day.

Foreseeing the potential impact of the Internet on the personals industry, the precursor of Spark Networks established itself in 1997 with the introduction of JDate®, now the leading online personals website amongst Jewish singles. Driven by the success of JDate, the company went on to launch a variety of online personals websites and now operates a network of religious, ethnic, special interest and geographically targeted online singles communities including, among them: AmericanSingles®, BlackSingles.com®, ChristianMingle®, and LDS Mingle®.

We continue to be extremely excited about the potential of online personals because the product is so attuned to today's singles lifestyle. Most of us barely have time to eat lunch, let alone meet new people we want to spend time with. And we think there's a lot of runway in front of us. Internet adoption continues to grow, and the expansion of broadband makes it possible to more fully leverage technology.
