Spark Networks SE is a leading global dating company with a widening portfolio of premium & freemium apps. Listed on the New York Stock Exchange American under the ticker symbol `LOV`, the company was formed in 2017 following the merger between Berlin-based Affinitas GmbH and US-based Spark Networks Inc. From small start-up to the world`s 2nd largest publicly listed dating company with over one million monthly paying subscribers, Spark`s success story is nothing short of remarkable. Building relationships is at the heart of what we do. This isn`t just about helping our millions of users find love – it also extends to how we treat each other. The proof? Every year we run an Employee Satisfaction Survey, and over 90% of employees say that Spark Networks has a `great working atmosphere`. We know that strong innovation comes from diverse ideas, and one of our greatest assets is that we have around 250 employees representing over 50 nationalities, from New Zealand to America and everywhere in between. When we hire we look for proactive `doers`, clear communicators, results-focused achievers, entrepreneurial thinkers and active team players.
We started SlickLogin because security measures had become overly complicated and annoying. Our friends thought we were insane, but we knew we could do better. So we set out to improve security while still making it simple for people to log in. Today we`re announcing that the SlickLogin team is joining Google, a company that shares our core beliefs that logging in should be easy instead of frustrating, and authentication should be effective without getting in the way. Google was the first company to offer 2-step verification to everyone, for free - and they're working on some great ideas that will make the internet safer for everyone. We couldn`t be more excited to join their efforts.
Google`s mission is to organize the world`s information and make it universally accessible and useful. Since our founding in 1998, Google has grown by leaps and bounds. From offering search in a single language we now offer dozens of products and services—including various forms of advertising and web applications for all kinds of tasks—in scores of languages. And starting from two computer science students in a university dorm room, they now have thousands of employees and offices around the world. A lot has changed since the first Google search engine appeared. But some things haven`t changed their dedication to our users and our belief in the possibilities of the Internet itself.
