Revenue growth has slowed at most of Rocket Internet's other 11 leading
start-ups, ranging from furniture e-commerce and food delivery in Europe
to online fashion in markets from India to Latin America and the Middle
East.

Rocket Internet SE: CEO Seeks to Soothe Investors With Growth Promise ?

Do you know that ALL European countries fit in Brazil, Russia, Africa or Australia?
It means: If you want to replicate a big success in Brazil, it will be as hard as the same to replicate it in ALL European countries,
but in this case with 1/8 of population and the majority of the persons
DO NOT own or WILL NOT use a credit/debit card to buy online!
They will prefer to research online and then buy offline.

Many
if not most, USA, Canadian or European businesses models are unfeasible
in Latin American countries, African countries, Russia or even
Australia because transportation costs could be 10 times bigger than in
Europe.

All the domino should fall ... when they run out of money!
https://www.friendscout24.de/magazin/dating-trends-die-zukunft-des-online-datings/
Five predictions:
- Dating-Trends: Omni-Dating, Analog and digital worlds merge with reality.
-
Love at First Byte, Automated dating. Thanks learning algorithms and
data analysis, to study the behavior, apps can decide for themselves
when, where and with whom a dating process is initiated.
- DIY-Dating: The automation would also strengthen the counter-trend toward "do it yourself"
- Romantic Gamification: augmented and virtual reality.
- Flexicurity Flirts: The dating users of tomorrow expect security and flexibility: flexicurity.
FriendScout24's
- BeziehungsQuotienten-Check (BQ-Check) is a HOAX, based on a Big
Scientific Fraud. That compatibility test DOES NOT include any
personality assessment.
Meetic launches dating bot on Facebook Messenger ?
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2016/06/meetic-launches-dating-bot-on-facebook.html
IAC (IACI) Bought European Online Dating Site FriendScout24 Via Meetic Group.
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2014/07/iac-iaci-bought-european-online-dating.html
The Match Group is only a collection of old and obsolete online dating sites:
Match, Meetic, Chemistry, OkCupid, FriendScout24, OurTime, HowAboutWe,
PlentyOfFish and many more and all of them are past their primes,
reached operating ceiling and they are in decadence. The Match Group is not going to innovate and revolutionize the Online Dating Industry in the next years.
Match Group opened the umbrella before it rains?
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2016/06/match-group-opened-umbrella-before-it.html
The Online Dating Industry does not need any improvement. It does need INNOVATIONS!
Please remember:
The 3 milestone discoveries of the 2001 - 2010 decade for Theories of Romantic Relationships Development are:
I) Several studies showing contraceptive pills users make different mate choices, on average, compared to non-users. "Only short-term but not long-term partner preferences tend to vary with the menstrual cycle"
II)
People often report partner preferences that are not compatible with
their choices in real life. (Behavioural recommender systems or other
system that learns your preferences are useless)
III) What is
important in attracting people to one another may not be important in
making couples happy. Compatibility is all about a high level on
personality similarity between prospective mates for long term mating
with commitment.
The key to long-lasting romance is STRICT PERSONALITY SIMILARITY, and not "meet other people with similar interests"
The
only way to revolutionize the Online Dating Industry is using the 16PF5
normative personality test, available in different languages to assess
personality of members, or a proprietary test with exactly the same
traits of the 16PF5 and expressing compatibility with eight decimals
(needs a quantized pattern comparison method, part of pattern
recognition by cross-correlation, to calculate similarity between
prospective mates.)
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2013/03/to-ruin-their-businesses.html
High precision in matching algorithms is precisely the key to open the door and leave the infancy of compatibility testing.
Without
offering the NORMATIVE16PF5 (or similar test measuring exactly the 16
personality factors) for serious dating, it will be impossible to
innovate and revolutionize the Online Dating Industry
All other proposals are NOISE and perform as placebo.

Lara or Tom, a true "virtual dating assistant."
Through artificial intelligence, the bot is able to adapt its responses depending on the requests of its interlocutor.
Thus, it will help users in creating their profile and will show singles that match their criteria.

It is like Tinder automated.
Bad timing to launch a bot in the Online Dating Industry.

The Acting Australian Information Commissioner Timothy Pilgrim said anyone using apps that reveals their whereabouts should think it through carefully.
“The personal information we share online shapes our online identity, and can form a digital footprint that can be difficult to erase,’’ he said.
“Our personal information is one of our most valuable assets, so it’s important we understand what’s collected, who it’s provided to and how it’s used.”
University of Melbourne computer privacy researched Dr Suelette Dreyfus said “people need to pause in their headlong rush to social media” because a lot of that “data doesn’t go away.”

Happn like Hinge, will be a "Stupid Investors' series" case of study.

Affinitas GmbH. wanting to be acquired by Match Group (MTCH) ? I doubt.
eDarling/EliteSingles are only copycats of eHarmony.
EliteSingles (Affinitas GmbH.) Silly Global Rebrand WITH NO INNOVATION!
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2016/05/elitesingles-affinitas-gmbh-silly.html
Lack Of Innovation & Decadence can summarize the Online Dating Industry.
C-Level executives are more worried about their golf scores than their company’s long term strategy and innovations.
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2016/05/two-silly-conferences-for-online-dating.html
C-level
executives are cooking barbecues under the water (selling smoke) and
not paying attention to latest research from Academics which could be
beneficial for the Online Dating Industry.
Can eHarmony Inc. sue EliteSingles USA (Affinitas GmbH.) for patent infringement?
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2016/06/can-eharmony-inc-sue-elitesingles-usa.html
They both use the "29 dimensions of stupidities" feature.
Please be alerted EliteSingles in only a copycat of eHarmony. Nothing more than that!
eHarmony,
is a 15+++ years old obsolete site and a HOAX, based on a big
scientific fraud, only sustained by big marketing budget.
The Big
Five normative test had been proven/revealed as an incomplete and
incorrect model to assess/measure personality of persons.
A prospective client will not perceive eDarling/EliteSingles sites as better, superior or different than eHarmony's ones.
Without
offering the NORMATIVE16PF5 (or similar test measuring exactly the 16
personality factors) for serious dating, it will be impossible to
innovate and revolutionize the Online Dating Industry. All other
