Have you considered scheduling dating events for your members? I imagine you could charge more than a club night for such events. You would allow members to exchange contact details, but you could also play matchmaker after the event ("remember that guy in a suede jacket, david, didn't get a chance to say hello but would have liked to ...") and charge for the convenience.
Ah, yes, we have been doing this since we launched. The $20/month gets you access to free, exclusive Dating Ring parties (lotsss of people find dates through those) as well as that one match a month. We should definitely surface that better.
Do you need help with a hardware project - circuit design or embedded software? Much of my recent work has been on wireless connectivity (Bluetooth, Wifi, Zigbee), but in the past I've written firmware and designed hardware for industrial machines and for robotic systems.
Please get in touch if you have a project you'd like to discuss.

I have a research background in robotics as well as professional experience writing firmware in C. In the past I've helped consumer electronics startups develop prototypes and bring concepts to production: hardware/electronics design and manufacture, firmware development etc. I have all necessary professional tools including a license for Cadence Allegro, oscilloscope etc.
I've been doing web dev work for the past three years. I spent the past year working on a (yet-to-be-launched) startup. Some of the technologies I have used professionally are Meteor, Rails, Clojure (also ClojureScript, Pedestal) MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Datomic and D3.js.
Recently Clojure has been my go-to language for everything from robotics, to data visualization as well as in web dev, but I'm fluent in C, Ruby, Python, JavaScript and CoffeeScript. I'm interested in both part-time and full-time positions. My email is in my profile.
Couldn't find any mentions of looks or wealth in the TechCrunch article. Did you see it mentioned somewhere else?
I think you'd find that the dating industry is filled with companies that are ethically-challenged (or have been at some point in their history).
