Matches That Matter is an activity-based service geared to singles over 40. This is NOT an online dating service. Our approach, unique and low-pressure, focuses on assembling small groups of compatible men and women to meet, work together on community projects and get to know each other in a comfortable, natural way.

• Work closely with PR team and corporate spokesperson to craft messaging as well as interact with reporters and the press.
• Identify strategic advertising locations and vehicles.
• Create and build strategic alliances with key organizations and client groups.

We launch in 5 weeks. Come join our team of 6 bright, energetic, high performers as we build the Bay Area component of our service. The national launch will begin in 12 months.

This project will be compensated primarily in the form of equity. All expenses will be generously reimbursed. In an effort to be flexible and engage highly qualified individuals, we also offer part-time work (4 days/week) which will also be compensated with an ownership stake in the company.
