Mergers & Acquisitions

At Global Dating Insights, we help online dating and social discovery companies explore exits in a way that is discreet, controlled, and strategically timed.

Selling a business in this sector is rarely about listing it publicly; it’s about reaching the right buyers — operators, investors, and strategic acquirers who already understand the space and see the long-term value.

Our approach is staged and seller-led. We begin with confidential preparation and targeted, one-to-one introductions, often under the radar, allowing founders to test interest and valuation without creating market noise.

Where appropriate, we then use GDI’s unique media position to anonymously surface opportunities to a wider pool of qualified buyers, building momentum while protecting the identity of the business.

When the time is right, we can support full market visibility through public editorial coverage, signalling that a business is exploring strategic options or is formally for sale.

Because demand has already been carefully cultivated, this final stage tends to accelerate serious conversations rather than start them from scratch. Throughout the process, our role is to protect confidentiality, create informed demand, and help founders maximise outcomes — quietly when needed, loudly when it helps.

To have a confidential conversation, you can schedule a private 15-minute meeting with GDI’s Founder, Simon Corbett, by clicking here, or send an email to simon.corbett@iigroup.global
