It all began in the early 2000s, when I was working a day job in private wealth management in San Francisco. Every day, I interacted with brilliant, accomplished professionals, many of whom were single and candid about their frustrations with the dating scene.
During an earlier stint living in Silicon Valley, I had been surrounded by brainiac, overachieving men—innovators, engineers, and leaders in tech. Meanwhile, up in San Francisco, I was meeting equally impressive professional women—dynamic, successful, and full of heart. And yet, despite how much each of these groups had to offer, both consistently lamented how difficult it was to meet truly compatible people.
That was my “aha!” moment.
There was a clear imbalance, and I saw the opportunity. What if I created a space where these exceptional individuals could connect with intention and ease? Supply could meet demand, and suddenly, a market inefficiency could become relationship opportunities. An idea had sprung.
From day one, my mission has been to be a strong "signal" amidst the "noise" of modern dating — cutting through the chaos to make meeting “the one” less onerous, and actually… fun.
So in 2003, I left finance and launched Linx Dating. It started simply: coffee shop meetings, listening closely, and matchmaking by hand. But it grew quickly. Word spread, the network expanded and the network effect compounded, and soon Linx became a trusted, discreet service built on intuition, integrity, and real human connection.
Twenty-five years later, that initial spark has blossomed into something extraordinary—a thriving network of ambitious minds and open hearts.
