LINX CONFIDENTIALNewsletter #24 Dear Subscriber First Name, Some of the best connections begin with a simple decision to show up. As we move through October and holiday plans begin taking shape, I’ve been thinking about the joy of bringing people together. While so much of my work centers on romantic introductions, I also love creating opportunities for people to expand their circles, enjoy wonderful company, and come together for a meaningful cause. On October 8th, I had the pleasure of attending the Little Wishes gala, joined by friends and members of the Linx community. I’m thrilled to share that the evening raised $600,000 to support seriously ill, hospitalized children. That spirit of connection and generosity continues next month. I’m delighted to invite you to a Luxury Social Soirée at Wilkes Bashford, which I’m co-hosting with AJ Gandhi, Founder & CEO of The Ambassador Life, on Thursday, November 12th, from 5:00 to 8:00 PM at Wilkes Bashford at the Stanford Shopping Center in Palo Alto. We’re bringing together the four F’s: Fashion, Fine Food, Fabulous Wine & Spirits, and Fantastic People. Expect expert styling for men and women, delicious bites, premium wines, guided whiskey and tequila tastings, and plenty of time to mix and mingle with an incredible group of Bay Area entrepreneurs, executives, investors, creatives, and community leaders. Through Cupid for a Cause, Linx Dating’s charitable arm, we’ll be supporting Little Wishes alongside DignityMoves, which helps people experiencing homelessness move toward greater stability and independence. Net proceeds from the evening will benefit both organizations. This is a purely social evening, so come solo or bring a guest, dress in cocktail attire, and join us for the first in a new quarterly series centered around memorable experiences, meaningful connection, and giving back. Early bird tickets are $175 through October 31st, with regular tickets available for $195 beginning November 1st. Space is limited, and I would absolutely love to see you there. My same belief in the power of personal connection was at the heart of my recent features in Bloomberg and the New York Post. I was delighted to share my perspective on why people, including those whose careers revolve around technology, are seeking a more personal approach to finding love. I also joined David Gura and Christina Ruffini on Bloomberg This Weekend for a conversation about how the AI wealth boom is bringing new clients to high-end matchmaking. We discussed why busy professionals are looking beyond dating apps and how we thoughtfully vet and recruit potential partners for our clients. Even as technology changes how we live and work, understanding someone’s values, recognizing their readiness for a relationship, and seeing possibilities they may not have considered remain at the heart of what we do at Linx. After more than 23 years of matchmaking, I’ve seen how much can begin with one introduction. That possibility continues to guide my work with clients, including someone you may remember from our earlier newsletter: Mr. VIP #2. Our 20-year-old UC Berkeley student and Cal Bears football player is continuing his search for a kind, grounded, family-oriented young woman between 18 and 22 in Southern California or the San Francisco Bay Area. If his story stayed with you, or someone has since come to mind, I encourage you to revisit his profile or pass it along. Learn more about Mr. VIP #2 and apply to meet him here. Whether you’re hoping to meet someone special or simply spend an evening among interesting people, I hope this season inspires you to make room for new connections. I look forward to seeing familiar faces and welcoming new ones on November 12th.
