Pre-Beta Week 1: Giveaways & Site Updates

Elizabeth/ Leave a Comment/ 1032761

What a week!

We opened our pre-beta doors last Monday, welcomed 200 users and received thousands of reservations. After almost a year of working to make online dating better, it’s thrilling to see our dream being realized! And the best part of the job? Seeing your amazing support.

“A site that blocks out messages like ‘Hey wutz up’ and ‘Can I cum over? Gimme ur address’ sounds like a win to me. Hell I’d pay for that service.” -BurntEditor of jezebel.com

“The Mesh thing sounds amazing!” -lovinlifeNC of glamour.com

“[Dealbreakers] would work for SO many things. You’re an atheist? Filter out the young-earth evangelists. You really like the serious older guys? Filter out the 20-year-old college guys looking for a cougar.” -DashleyinCali of jezebel.com

So after the first batch of invites went out, we patted ourselves on the back and popped open a bottle of  “Mesh” wine.

And in true Mesh fashion, it’ll only get better from here.

Promotional Events

With the pre-beta site being improved around the clock, the baton was passed off to the Mesh Marketing team. On Saturday, we took to the streets of this year’s Mermaid Parade with free water to help our fellow New Yorkers beat the heat.

But Coney Island was only our first stop. We’ll be hitting up other NYC summer events, so follow us to keep track of where we’ll be next.

Updates & Improvements
