Swiping right for the elite - an algorithm for dating the career-oriented..

So, I know that a very important concern of Ironhide is to get connected with single, successful, and rich ladies.  After some thorough research, since we don't want to hurt anybody's feelings (Ironhide is sensitive, cough cough) and suggest somebody that is not a perfect match, in the end: "we don't to miss opportunities because of an algorithm pre-filters".


Ladies and gents, we would like to introduce you to a highly controversial, yet appreciated, app called "The League" (insert catchy dating game show intro theme song here). "The League", which raise 2.1 million in Sillicon Valley funding earlier in 2015 was launched by Stanford Alumni Amanda Bradford.

The app has an "advanced screening algorithm" to scan all the members' credential, background, social circles, and other relevant facts that a successful executive considers prior to dating a certain individual. According to Bradford, ambition is the main trait for her app's users. 






For now only San Francisco and New York get to enjoy the "elite" tinder - and it truly is elite. There more than 100,000 on the waiting list in San Francisco and 16,000 in New York. Members receive two VIP passes so they can invite whoever they desire. So if you know somebody that actually got invited to "The League", don't hesitate to ask for their VIP pass (or feel free to send it to our FuegoBot blog contributor Mirage, she could use some help in that department). If you don't know anyone on the it-list, let's just wait for the international expansion to Madrid. Caviar and tapas in the interim, anyone?
