Zoosk – San Francisco
Zoosk is a romantic social network with an online dating service that integrates with other social networks. The company earned the #29 spot in The Wall Street Journal’s The Next Big Thing 2011 – The Top 50 Venture-Funded Companies list. Founded in 2007 by co-CEOs Shayan Zadeh and Alex Mehr, Zoosk’s headquarters are in San Francisco, California. The office has a nice mix of business and pleasure: Engineers plug away at code just a few feet from a spirited game of ping-pong, and data scientists furrow their brows and crunch numbers alongside people playing fetch with a newly adopted puppy. TechCrunch’s Colleen Taylor visits Zoosk’s San Francisco headquarters and takes a tour with Alex Mehr, Co-Founder and President.
