We Asked Silicon Valley's Top Matchmaker To Find The Most Eligible Singles In Tech - Here's What She Came Up With

No one knows Silicon Valley dating better than Amy Andersen.

Andersen founded Menlo Park-based matchmaking service Linx Dating in 2000, after observing that many professionals were having trouble navigating the often complicated Silicon Valley dating scene.

Since then, she's built an impressive dating network, helping hundreds of people in the Bay Area meet potential matches. She estimates that about half of her clients work at tech companies, including Facebook, Box, Google, LinkedIn, and Cisco, among others.

Though she wouldn't reveal her clients' names for confidentiality reasons, Andersen tapped into her network to find the most eligible singles in Silicon Valley right now.
