Linx’s Love Guide: We've Got You Covered This Valentine’s

Newsletter #6

Dear Subscriber First Name,

As we step into February 2025, I find myself reflecting on the power of compassion and grace in today’s world. The past few weeks have reminded us of the strength that lies in community, especially as we’ve witnessed the incredible resilience during the recent wildfires in LA. A huge thank you to the first responders, evacuation coordinators, generous donors, and so many others who’ve shown up in support. In times like these, it becomes even clearer how essential it is to stand by one another and uplift the communities we care about.

In this month’s newsletter, we’ve got some exciting updates: a fundraiser event for wildfire relief, a brand-new VIP feature, and Linx’s Love Guide—your ultimate resource for navigating all things Valentine’s Day!

Affectionately yours,

Amy Andersen

Please join us, and other compassionate friends of Linx, for an unforgettable evening of philanthropy and fine wines, on February 26th from 5:30 to 8:30 PM.

In the wake of the devastating fires that have ravaged Los Angeles, our hearts go out to those affected. Now, more than ever, our Silicon Valley community must unite—not only in support, but in action.

I am honored to host this exclusive event, bringing together some of Silicon Valley's most influential minds, for a night of meaningful conversation and charitable giving. This intimate gathering offers a unique opportunity to connect with key leaders and changemakers, all united for a cause far greater than ourselves.

The evening will feature a close friend of mine, who has personally experienced the devastation, sharing a poignant and moving perspective on the crisis. With a celebrated DJ and an atmosphere of refined elegance, this will undoubtedly be a night to remember.

100% of the net proceeds will benefit the California Community Foundation and the Pasadena Humane Society, ensuring direct relief to those in urgent need.

This event is produced by Amy Andersen (CEO of Linx Dating), Neda Razavi (CEO of iSono Health), Lisa Keith (Golden Gate Sotheby’s International Realty), and AJ Gandhi (Board Member of the Harvard Business School Association of Northern California).

Date: Wednesday, February 26, 2025
Time: 5:30–8:30 PM
Location: Rosewood Sand Hill Hotel (Main Ballroom) | 2825 Sand Hill Rd, Menlo Park, CA 94025

  • Early Bird (available until Feb 15): $175

  • General Admission: $200

FEATURED VIP CLIENT

This 64-year-old successful investor, entrepreneur, and philanthropist leads a life rich in passion, purpose, and adventure. Standing at 5'10" with a slim, athletic build, he is dedicated to staying in shape through regular workouts with a personal trainer, hiking, skiing, and sailing. An active lifestyle is at the core of his daily routine, and he’s excited to continue exploring both familiar and new international ski destinations in the coming years—planning return trips to Verbier, Chamonix, Meribel (Europe), Jackson Hole (Wyoming), and Alta (Utah) in 2025. His dedication to a life on the move reflects a broader outlook—energetic, forward-looking, and always eager to embrace new adventures.

Professionally, he co-founded a successful venture capital firm and has played a pivotal role in financing and managing investments for three generations of his family. Known for his sharp eye for identifying winning ventures and building strong partnerships, he stands out not only for his financial acumen but also for his ability to solve complex challenges. Whether launching innovative companies or leading ambitious infrastructure projects, like creating a transmission line to connect a remote ski resort to the regional grid, his blend of intellect, creativity, and determination consistently drives remarkable results.

One of his most defining qualities is his deep commitment to making others' lives better. Throughout his career, he’s generously shared his time, energy, advice, and kindness, helping everyone from family members to entrepreneurs he’s mentored. His adult daughter once said that he has an innate ability to elevate others, always going the extra mile without expecting anything in return. This spirit of compassion extends into his personal life, where he values deep, meaningful connections. His passions range from intellectual pursuits at several social clubs to activities like sailing the Mediterranean and skiing around the globe—adventures that keep him engaged and always learning.

While he thrives in his social life and remains deeply involved in philanthropic and community efforts, he also cherishes quiet moments. Whether reading a book or spending time at his homes in San Francisco and Lake Tahoe with his beloved rescue dog and family, he finds peace in life’s simpler pleasures.

Though his professional achievements are impressive, he is equally known for his wit, fun-loving nature, and vibrant social life. A self-described "nerd" who enjoys exploring new cultures and indulging in fine food and wine, he’s also someone who knows how to enjoy life with a sense of humor. His family and friends admire his warmth, generosity, and straightforward nature. He shares a special bond with his daughter (30), who is graduating with a Ph.D. from UC Berkeley in May 2025, and they are frequent companions on ski trips, sailing adventures, and even dog walks with their spoiled pups. He is also committed to strengthening his relationship with his son (32), who has faced some personal struggles. Life is a journey, and while no one is perfect, he remains devoted to navigating these ups and downs with patience, understanding, and an open heart, knowing that growth and healing take time.

Having enjoyed a wonderful 36-year marriage, which ended with the passing of his beloved wife in the spring of 2024, he is navigating a deeply transformative grief process. Through therapy and self-reflection, he has worked hard to understand his emotional needs and desires moving forward. Initially uncertain about whether he wanted a romantic component in the next chapter of his life, he now feels ready to embrace companionship once again. He knows that his next relationship will never replace the love he shared with his late wife but is eager to embark on this new chapter with someone who brings joy, empathy, and emotional depth to his life. He hopes that his next partner will be someone who understands the hardships he's faced and can offer reliability and strength as they navigate the future together.

At this stage, he is seeking a partner to share in his adventures and continue building a fulfilling life. His ideal match is a woman between the ages of 50-67 who values her femininity and is committed to maintaining a healthy, active lifestyle.

He is looking for someone intellectual, warm, thoughtful, and loyal—someone who enjoys both the finer and simpler things in life and appreciates the importance of deep connection. A woman who is well-traveled, adventurous, and ready to be his true partner in every sense. Location is important to him; ideally, his partner will be based in the San Francisco Bay Area or Northern Nevada/Tahoe, as he values spending quality time together without the challenge of a long geographic divide.

His dream woman will share his passion for adventure and making a difference. Whether it’s carving fresh tracks on a mountain ski trip, catching the perfect wind while sailing, or exploring new destinations around the world, he wants someone eager to dive into life with energy, curiosity, and excitement. Outdoor activities and spontaneous adventures are a must—he loves discovering new places, trying new things, and living life to the fullest.

A big part of his life is also giving back, so a woman who values philanthropy and has a heart for helping others would be a perfect match. Bonus points if you have kids or grandkids—he believes strongly in family and creating lasting memories together.

With a proven track record of success in both his professional and personal life, he is ready to write the next chapter with someone who shares his passion, compassion, and curiosity for the world.

Linx’s Love Guide: Thoughtful Gift Ideas for Every Valentine

Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be overwhelming or filled with unmet expectations. Whether you’re keeping it simple or planning something a bit more extravagant, here are thoughtful ideas to make your celebration memorable:

  1. Personal Touches that Mean the Most

    Instead of grabbing the usual store-bought chocolates, make your own chocolate-covered strawberries. All you need are fresh strawberries, melted chocolate, and a little creativity. Pair this with a bouquet of fresh flowers for a simple yet heartfelt way to show your partner you care.

  2. A Cozy Night In

    Dining out is always an option, but why not elevate the romance by cooking a special meal together at home? Choose your partner’s favorite dishes or try crafting a gourmet menu. Set the table with candles, soft music, and all the elegance of a fine-dining experience—without leaving the house.

  3. Relax and Reconnect

    This Valentine’s Day, trade the usual gifts for indulgence and relaxation. Treat yourselves to a luxurious couple’s spa day, complete with massages, facials, and pure tranquility. It’s the ultimate reset to celebrate your connection in serene luxury.

  4. Petals That Last

    Looking to make a lasting impression? Venus et Fleur Eternity Roses are a timeless expression of love, designed to last a year or more. This elevated take on the traditional bouquet is a gift that keeps on giving—and a daily reminder of your affection.

  5. Luxe That Lasts

    If you’re looking for something extra special, a meaningful piece of jewelry is always a thoughtful choice. Whether it’s a bracelet, necklace, or a pair of elegant earrings, choose something that reflects your partner’s unique style. It’s a gift that says “I see you” and will be treasured for years to come.

This Valentine’s Day, let the focus be on thoughtfulness, connection, and creating moments that reflect your unique bond. After all, the most romantic gestures come from the heart.
