We talk more in terms of registered members - Adult Friend Finder,Originally posted by SleazyDream
the network of personals sites and cams.com sign up over 160,000 people
each day. One of the neat things about so much activity on the sites
is that the energy it produces rocks the conversion rates. There's
about 20 million active members on Adult Friend Finder alone. Last
time I checked, we had over 300K affiliates registered - with a great
team of about 20 who help support them. All in all, it takes about
300 people to keep the site rolling.CEO, Friend Finder

Grew up in northern Indiana near Lake Michigan on a small farm. My parentsOriginally posted by SleazyDream
were both steel workers during the day and farmer-types after work. My
father would joke that he was teaching me every job that I wouldn't want
to do the rest of my life - bricklaying, barn building, roofing, dish washing,
auto body repair, welding, ditch digging, Christmas tree farming, hay bailing,
wood chopping, etc. I may have not appreciated it at the time, but I did
learn how to work long hours and to always do a task to the best of my
abilities. While the calluses are gone from my hands, the work ethic and the
pleasure of a job done well remains.CEO, Friend Finder

The adult industry is filled with talented people, start of the artOriginally posted by SleazyDream
technology, and financial resources which can be repurposed to help
all sorts of people. There are so many non-profit companies that
can't afford custom website development and the latest technologies.
I recently funded a non-profit company to help micro-fund integration
developers to reuse development efforts from the adult world to
mainstream (among other projects). For example, software for a webcam
website could be reused to provide remote tutoring (think low cost
homework helpers in India or volunteers broadcasting), handle a suicide
hotline where people can actually see the people helping others, or other
situations where a group wants to make experts available. An online dating
site could be repurposed to match volunteers with needs or to organize
support networks for at-risk people. An SMS chat system can be reused to
send out homework reminders to parents. The basic assumption is that
there are huge economies of scale when it comes to building websites -
the repurposing of technologies is often considerably cheaper than the
original development. While the company is in the formative stage, we
will be taking proposals and funding a number of projects this year.CEO, Friend Finder

Andrew, cheers to you on your success. You deserve every bit of it.
Sleazy, I'm definitely a huge fan of your Ambush interviews and this is by far the greatest. However, I propose that you choose another individual to help prepare the questions. Two minds are better than one. I've seen some great questions asked in this thread."Every man think that his burden is the heaviest"

We're always looking at the options. As you know, there are just a few pure-playOriginally posted by SleazyDream
adult companies that have gone public most with mixed results. The times are changing
though - with google, yahoo, microsoft, disney, viacom, comcast, etc making more
revenue from adult content than most adult companies, the public markets are
becoming more embracing. GFY will be one of the first to know. What's
your thoughts? Think the public is ready to invest in another adult company?
We've been in acquistion mode recently - picking up a big private label dating
network that enables us to be much more flexible for custom deals - see FastCupid.com
and the merger with Streamray. We have a number of big deals in play for this
year in both the adult and mainstream markets. If you are interested in joining
the network or an acquistion, send email to 'bizdev at friendfinderinc.com'.CEO, Friend Finder

I have started to see more and more dating advertisements showing up on TV, Match.com, Love Line, and E-harmony. Do you ever plan on advertising any of the FriendFinder sites on Television?

Well the real "public" who invests are mutal funds...Originally posted by TheProfessor
The most important for an IPO is the size of the company, as many funds don't like to invest their money in more then 100 companies and at the same time never buy more then 10% of shares... So to get attention of mutual funds the company must be about 1 billion worth, as the budget of most of these fonds is around 1 billion.
Making an IPO is the thing that can revolt the company by providing it with capital to aquaire other companies. So if you have a chance...
Well... sure you have a financial advisor

I could ask more questions but I try and keep them to 30-35 specifically cause that's a LOT of questions to ask and as most that have been ambushed have told me it's a LOT of work and I don't want to make it too much work. I usually have in excess of 50 questions for most people that are ambushed - 70+ for andrew, but I try and choose those that I feel would give the most insight, past, and enjoyment to answer so i pick what i feel are the best ones.
for andrew I believe discussed with and got questions from
Lars, Sagi, Betsy, Lesbodojo, Sean, Stuntpig, myself and of course Andrew himself.
hopefully I'm not forgetting someone.

what Eservices2k3 is nicely saying is you could use help in the question dept ie; better questions, because your choice of questions arent that great.
maybe focus 2/3 on business and a 1/3 on personal.Last edited by jonesy; 02-19-2006, 07:13 PM..

The big difference is that "legendary" Lars was wizard of his own sitesOriginally posted by SleazyDream
before we merged. Promotion and delivering on promises is what he's all
about - it's energizing to work with him on projects for both Streamray (cams.com)
and the Friend Finder network. While we're both in California, he works
several time zones ahead so his torrent of IMs is the first thing I get
every morning. Our different personality types make a great team.CEO, Friend Finder

see there;s where you show you lack of IQ - ambush interview's NEVER been mainly about the business questions. it's ALWAYS been 2/3 personal and was meant to be that from the start. It's what makes the interview relevant for years to come as well as a resourse. Business changes day to day - your past is always there. That's what it's about and I try to talk about.Originally posted by jonesy
it's ABOUT the people, NOT the business - and how they got to what they are - background on WHO they are - to give people that read it an opportunity to humanize the people behind the scenes and find common ground to talk to them about when they meet them and for those that already know them.This dog, is dog, a dog, good dog, way dog, to dog, keep dog, an dog, idiot dog, busy dog, for dog, 20 dog, seconds dog!

Tell ya what all you geniuses who think Scott needs help running the interviews. How many of the people that have been interviewed do you know on a first name basis AND would take time out of their lives to answer your interview questions? (or even return your phone calls for that matter)

My remarks were directed at the people telling Sleazy his questions sucked and he needed help with them.
In most ambushes people ask a few of their own questions, but for one person to ask a dozen questions (some of which are redundant), and then criticize the person who put the interview together is just ridiculous.sig too bigComment
