Brother and Sister Team Propel Startup into NYC and Connect People LIVE on Morning Show
Stephen Stokols, WooMe.com founder and CEO may be the experienced
business executive driving the company forward, however, if not for
his little sister, 23 year old Haley, WooMe.com would not exist today.
WooMe’s concept, taking speed dating online though live voice and
video communications was actually developed by Haley after her many
failed attempts finding real connection with guys through social
networks, traditional dating sites and offline speed dating events.
Haley reasoned that speed dating, while a great way to meet a lot of
people in a short period of time was almost too focused on finding
romance, when all she was really looking to do was meet some great,
interesting people.
By taking the offline craze online, Stephen broadened the concept from just dating to general introductions leveraging the openness of the internet to allow people to meet and connect over any topic anywhere.

No Brad, Webcams don’t make you look fat!
Brad Stone writes an interesting piece about WooMe in the New York Times. He asks the question: ‘So can online-speed dating work (as a business, and as a way of meeting someone special)?’ We clearly think the answer is yes. But we think the answer is a bit more complicated in that users of the WooMe platform will help drive the direction this business goes - WooMe is an introductions platform. Anyone can use it to meet new friends, find a new room mate, a travel companion or romance. In our eyes the applications are as broad as people’s imagination.
