Dating App: How to build, survive and thrive in the worlds most human tech industry

Written by HubPeople founder Michael O'Sullivan, it's the playbook the online dating industry has been missing — endorsed by the leaders building it.

Refreshingly candid. The operating manual our industry has been missing. In 25+ years advising dating companies, I've never seen the whole playbook — economics, product, growth, operations and exits — laid out this clearly.
Mark Brooks CEO, Courtland Brooks & Matchnomad.com
A must-read for every aspiring entrepreneur in the online dating sector, drawn from nearly 20 years' experience in the industry.
Simon Newman CEO, The Online Dating and Discovery Association
Dating apps aren't just about technology…they're about so much more. Michael reveals what it really takes to build, survive, and thrive in one of the world's most growing, challenging and rewarding industries.
Lydia Hoey Matchmaking Director, Maclynn
Every founder who pitches me their dating app idea will now get this book assigned first. It's the clearest, richest account I've read of what founders in this industry actually go through.
