Andrew Weinreich

Andrew Weinreich is currently the CEO of mobile dating service MeetMoi and the Chairman of Xtify. He was the founder of sixdegrees.com, Joltage, and I Stand For, and is the lead author of the seminal and first patent in social networking.

Since 1995, Weinreich has focused on the search for paradigm shifting ventures in new industries. The idea for sixdegrees.com - widely acknowledged as the Internet’s first ‘social network,’ was driven by Weinreich’s goal of facilitating meetings between people you don’t know through the people you do know. The company was ultimately sold to YouthStream Media Networks in December 2000.

In July 2001, Weinreich founded Joltage, an infrastructure services business devoted to building out a global network of WiFi hotspots. In December 2003, Weinreich founded I Stand For, Inc., which he sold in February 2006. I Stand For offered a complete technology solution to political campaigns, including the construction of online communities; online fundraising tools; a full content management system and a customer relationship management system.

In February 2006, Weinreich started meetMoi, the first location-based mobile dating startup in the United States. The company charges a monthly subscription fee appended to a user’s cellular phone bill. In 2008, Weinreich spun off the persistent tracking technologies of meetMoi into a separate company called Xtify. Xtify is the first platform for geo-targeted mobile messaging.

Weinreich was born in New York City and grew up in Westchester County. He attended Edgemont High School, and then the University of Pennsylvania where he graduated cum laude with a major in American History. He also holds a Juris Doctorate from Fordham University School of Law.
