This January 11th 2012, the tenure of Mr. Jeremy Verba will achieve 5 months, since August 2011.
He was never interviewed or never talked in public about eHarmony’s plans, long term strategy.
It is quite intriguing, as the calm before a storm, as the radio silence period that precedes a major attack, in this case perhaps a big announcement (new site with new matching algorithm to replace eHarmony).
During the 2011: Groupon, Pandora, Zynga, LinkedIn, Angie’s List, Zillow and many others dotcom companies reached their IPOs. On average they have 66x multipliers instead of 15x. It is clearly a tech bubble.
Facebook, Twitter, Yelp and others plan their IPOs during 2012.
Last April 2011, GreenCrest Capital valued eHarmony in the USD700-USD900 million range.
I do not think Mr. Verba is planning eHarmony’s IPO, so the venture funds which had put over USD110 million can recover the money, because eHarmony is only supported by a big marketing budget and not by serious scientific evidence.
