Tell us about your company.
FlipMe was created as a new way to flirt. Instead of relying on online profiles and pictures in your search for "Mr. Right," the cards allow you to see if there's a real-life physical attraction before you make your move. By handing them a FlipMe card, you can connect with that person you see in the subway, a bar, or at a coffee shop without having to give out your business card or cell phone. Keep your personal information personal, and never have to change your cell phone number again.

What inspired you to start your company?
FlipMe was inspired by my own love story. I met my husband when I was having lunch with my parents, while he was with a couple guys from work. We were making eye contact, but my dad is a pretty big guy. Instead of interrupting (and risking bodily harm), he had the waitress slip a note after he left. We went on our first date the weekend after and have been married for 5 years. FlipMe was created to help others prevent those possibly missed connections.

What year was your business founded?
FlipMe launched in July 2010.
