Hi 👋

My name is Alex Sergeev. I’m a serial entrepreneur with 15+ years of experience in the online dating industry, SaaS products, and consumer apps.

I’ve built and scaled multiple dating businesses from zero to millions in ARR - including Meetville (co-founder, grew to $5M+ ARR), Seeking.com (Head of Growth, grew ARR by $20M), and Dil Mil (Head of Growth).

I’m currently the Co-Founder and Head of Growth at Blazr.app, a social and dating app for the cannabis-friendly community, and the CEO of SkaDate, the leading white-label dating platform that powers thousands of founders building their own dating apps.

In this blog, I write about:

1. How to launch your own dating business

   Everything you need to go from idea to a functioning, monetizable dating product. I cover how to choose the right business model, pick a niche, design your core features, structure monetization, avoid common early-stage mistakes, and get your first users without wasting time or money.

2. How to grow and scale your existing dating business

   Frameworks and strategies for improving activation, retention, engagement, and revenue. I write about growth loops, subscription optimization, analytics, A/B testing, and building systems that reliably scale your user base and ARR.
