CEO Adam Sachs says that the money will be used to expand its team (particularly its development staff), and will also be used for a marketing push to increase awareness. Ignighter allows small groups of friends to collaborate on a group profile, where they can include photos and specify their interests. The site then presents a list of possible matches with other groups and helps them arrage get-togethers in the real world. The group environment helps avoid the awkward 1-on-1 situations that result from tradional dating sites like Match , and there’s less pressure - if you don’t hit it off with anyone, you can still have a good time hanging out with your buddies.

I thought this was a joke when I saw them present at the tech meetup, but my friends thought it looked good. The best guess at monetization (and what my friends thought promising) was promotional deals with venues/ bars in the local area. I think that requires a large sales force to execute across the US.
