The Meet Group
The Meet Group, Inc. (formerly MeetMe) owns several dating app networking services including MeetMe, hi5, LOVOO, Growlr, Skout, and Tagged. The company has offices in New Hope, Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Dresden, and Berlin.
Two siblings, Dave and Catherine Cook, created myYearbook during their Spring break of 2005. They persuaded their older brother Geoff, who had founded EssayEdge and ResumeEdge from his Harvard dorm room, to invest in their project. At the launch of the site, Dave was a junior in high school and Catherine was a sophomore; the project was initially activated at Montgomery High School, in suburban New Jersey where they attended. The site was created entirely by workers in India.
In 2006, myYearbook raised $4.1 million from U.S. Venture Partners and First Round Capital. In 2008, it raised $13 million in a Series B round.
In July 2011, myYearbook announced it had agreed to be acquired by Latino social networking site Quepasa. In June 2012, the company formed from the combination of myYearbook and Quepasa was renamed MeetMe.
In October 2016, MeetMe acquired Skout for $55 million.
On April 3, 2017, the company acquired if(we) and rebranded to The Meet Group.
In September 2017, Meet Group acquired German dating app Lovoo for $70 million USD.
In 2020, The Meet Group was acquired by ProSiebenSat.1 Media with a parent company, ParshipMeet Group, being formed to manage both The Meet Group and Parship.
