Valenice Balace of Manila calls herself an introvert but has an uncanny way of getting venture capital by just being around. The 27-year-old business degree holder started an online dating service with a women’s rights theme with 30,000 pesos (US$640) of her own money. She gives date seekers in the Philippines an online platform to get to know people through game and choose the best candidates via a list of questions. The service called Peekawoo has 200,000 clients, 40% active, but has never made money. Balace doesn’t sell ads. She has no monetization scheme, the type of secret you should never tell a venture capitalist.
