About SkaDate
We’ve been launching apps and websites since 2004
About the CEO
My name is Alex Sergeev. Since 2010, I haven't just built software - I’ve built profitable dating businesses.
I know exactly what it feels like to be in your shoes: starting from zero, facing the Cold Start Problem, and fighting for every user without a massive budget.
My track record in the industry isn't theoretical:
Co-Founder of Meetville.com: Built the product from the ground up, navigated painful pivots, and scaled the business to $5M+ in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR).
Head of Growth at Seeking.com: Led growth initiatives that increased Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) by $20M+.
Co-Founder at Blazr.app: Currently growing a cannabis-friendly social network and dating app.
I live in Walnut Creek, California (in the heart of the SF Bay Area tech ecosystem), and I still build, launch, and grow dating products every day.
When you work with SkaDate, you aren't just buying code. You are leveraging strategies and mechanics proven by millions of dollars in real revenue.
Why We Do This
If I were launching Meetville today, I would never build it from scratch. I would use SkaDate.
Not because building from scratch is impossible, but because I know the true cost of custom development. It is slow, incredibly expensive, and risky. In the early stages, your enemy is time, not technology.
The hard truth: Most dating startups fail not because of bad ideas, but because they run out of momentum. They spend 12 months building the perfect MVP and have zero budget left for marketing.
SkaDate exists to solve this. We’ve done the heavy lifting, so you don't have to.
We remove the technical barriers so you can focus on the only things that truly matter: your brand, your positioning, and your growth strategy.
This isn't a shortcut. It’s a strategic head start rooted in years of real-world dating experience.
20 Years of Evolution
SkaDate was founded in 2005. In the volatile world of tech, surviving for nearly 20 years is a statement in itself.
We didn't just watch the market change; we evolved ahead of it. We adapted through every major shift that killed our competitors:
The transition from desktop to mobile-first products.
The rise of swipe mechanics.
The dominance of subscription models over one-time payments.
The shift to modern frameworks like Flutter for cross-platform performance.
And now: Integrating LLMs and Generative AI for next-gen personalization and safety.
SkaDate is not legacy software. It is a battle-tested platform that learns from two decades of data.
We are constantly evolving Skadate. See our active development, including recent updates, new plugins, and upcoming features, on our public roadmap.
This long-term perspective protects your investment. We don't chase short-lived hype; we build infrastructure designed to remain relevant, stable, and profitable for years to come.
Our Perspective
We believe dating products are not just apps - they are living systems that combine technology, psychology, and business fundamentals.
Whether you are building a massive mainstream platform or a focused community, the rules of success remain the same:
Robust Architecture: You need a system that can handle growth from day one.
Smart Monetization: Revenue models must be flexible and effective.
User Retention: Engagement matters more than just acquisition.
SkaDate is built by people who have actually launched, scaled, and exited dating businesses. We understand the difference between a feature that looks cool and a feature that makes money.
We provide the engine. You provide the vision. Together, we turn your idea into a real, working business.
