Monday June 8th was the official launch of the eligon.ca community. It’s been only two weeks and we’re already seeing some media attention.  Our main goal so far is to establish a large membership base in Ontario, that’s why we’ve decided to give free 1 month memberships until June 31st. This is the stage where we make the best product as a business, and our product is not the very elaborate system or the formula or the website. Our product is the quality of the members, a decent amount of members in your area, and good selection, everything else is overrated.

Ever since man  learned to quantify value in money, blue blood social clubs have existed. Those with money and power liked to be with others who also had money and power. The wealthy are usually  intensely private and try to avoid social climbers, especially when it comes to their love life.

An entire population of CEOs, doctors lawyers and other high profile professionals are staying away from public dating websites to avoid encountering their co-workers, patients or clients, and an altogether lack of likeminded individuals often found on these sites.

Everyday public dating websites, who prefer quantity over quality, do not suit this portion of the population by their very definition: public.

This vacuum gave rise  to eligon.ca, derived from the Latin word ‘eligo’, which means ‘selected.’ This club was created by a Canadian company operating in Ontario, to best cater exclusively to the rich and educated.

Call it eHarmony for the rich: it’s an online dating website that screens its members according to education and income. Alexander Ratz, one of the founders says “We are not snobby, we just want our members to be compatible. Wealthy and educated people are their match and we’re just here to provide the place for them to meet most comfortably.”

Right at the start, from the Homepage, a velvet rope and bouncer atmosphere presides.  The registration process to this site is different than that of others. A member must first apply, providing his employment and education information, agree to verification, and declare that they are who they say they are with a legal statement. If a member is admitted for having a high enough level of education, income and management position, he or she is then required to build a profile and pay a membership fee that is slightly higher than the average on the market.

“Getting the rich to mingle online is not an easy job” says Alexander “we had to build a completely new kind of a website to suit people of this caliber. A series of security measures takes place to secure the privacy of the information and once you’re in, you experience a different kind of a dating site, one that is suited for people that expect and want more.”

Worried you won’t get in? An invitation from a friend who is a member might help.
