We ignite the passion, joy, and excitement of being an adult.
Since 1996, FriendFinder Networks has helped hundreds of millions of people live more passionately. Our award winning websites have revolutionized how adults connect, interact and express themselves online and we will continue to innovate and reinvest to ensure our members’ success.
Our Philosophy
At FriendFinder Networks, we unite people who love the freedom to express themselves. People who are passionate about life. We value honesty, transparency, inclusivity, and freedom of thought.
We treat you like adults – we don’t tell what you can say or do, we don’t sell your data to advertisers, and we don’t track where you go on the internet.
THE PIONEER IN ONLINE DATING
FriendFinder pioneered and continues to innovate some of the most popular and widely-used dating and entertainment websites in the world. We run the world’s first and by far the largest adult dating network with one goal in mind: bringing in like-minded people together for fun, intimacy and love. Every day we’re finding new ways to help our members engage, communicate and connect with people who are looking for exciting experiences both online and offline.
FriendFinder originally started as a mainstream social networking site when it was founded in 1996 by Andrew Conru, then a Ph.D. student at Stanford University. Over the next few years, the company quickly adapted to consumer preferences and branched out into over twenty different social media and dating-related verticals. In early 2005, the company merged with Cams.com, a live webcam model site, originally started by Lars Mapstead in 1999. Since then, Cams.com has become one of the largest providers of live model webcams in the world.
Today, FriendFinder’s award-winning portfolio of services synergistically combines the technical and brand assets of online personals, social-networking, live video chat, recorded video, online chat rooms, webcams, instant messaging, photo and video sharing, and premium content. With over 700,000,000 (not a typo; that’s 700 MILLION!) people engaged with at least one of our websites, and a track record of over twenty years of positive customer experiences, we continue our mission of pioneering new development of innovative, social media technology connecting people every day all over the world.
WE LOVE RECOGNITION
Since our inception in 1996 we consistently get recognized as the leader in our industry. Our sites have been included in Hollywood movies, Rolling Stone Magazine, Mashable, AskMen, Newsweek, PCMag, and elsewhere. We pride ourselves on creating a positive environment for our valued members, affiliates, and employees.
