Sixty-five percent have college degrees. Forty-one percent have been married before. They have trouble finding others their own age to date. They have tried many different methods to find a partner.

Market Segment
Our target market segment is quite well defined. It consists of high-school aged and college-aged students, single, with a fair amount of discretionary income earned from part-time jobs. The money earned is theirs to keep and does not have to be spent on food, rent, utilities etc. They spend their money on music, entertainment, clothing, etc,. They are very busy with school, sports, extra curricular activities and work and are in need of our services to find dates for school activities as well as regular dates. They are not interested in life-long partners at this stage in their lives. They are looking for dates with good physical characteristics and people with the similar values and interests. Our company will attempt to debunk the myth that younger people should have no problem meeting people. We want to convince our tarket market segment, that it is a cool thing to try computer dating, not a last resort. Currently we will focus on students in California and will later expand our market to include Virtual Enterprise companies in Oregon, Hawaii, New York, Virginia and the Carolinas.
