Biography
Alex Sergeev is a product and growth executive who says he has worked in online dating for about 15 years. He describes himself as a co-founder of Meetville, the dating platform he says he built from the ground up and scaled to more than $5M in annual recurring revenue. He also lists a spell as head of growth at Seeking.com, where he says his initiatives raised annual recurring revenue by more than $20M. These figures come from his own SkaDate biography and have not been checked against independent sources.
He is now co-founder and head of growth at Blazr, a social network and dating app for the cannabis-friendly community. Dating Industry Insights reported that Blazr appointed him to the role. His SkaDate biography names him as CEO of SkaDate, a white-label dating software provider, and his Substack profile says he leads the company. Third-party career listings also show earlier roles in growth and product at Reflex Media and Social Discovery Group, and as founder of the project management software company Hygger. Listings differ on some dates, so this profile does not give them.
His work matters to the dating industry because it spans a mainstream growth role, a software supplier for new dating businesses and a niche app. He also writes guides on launching and monetising dating products, including the cold start problem that new apps face when building an audience.
