SeekingArrangement (also known as SeekingArrangement.com) is an American sugar baby and sugar daddy dating website founded by MIT graduate Brandon Wade in San Francisco, California in 2006. Wade is currently the company’s CEO and has launched several niche dating sites, including MissTravel, WhatsYourPrice?, Carrot Dating, a mobile app and OpenMinded.
The SeekingArrangement business model is based on a membership system. Sugar Babies create profiles and join the website free of charge. Sugar Baby members who register with their university email address automatically qualify for a Premium Membership status. Sugar Daddys and Mommas are able to register for site services free of charge, which provides them with a limited number of messages. After the trial period has expired, members have the option to either purchase credits for expanded messaging privileges on a monthly basis or on an annual basis with the Diamond Package.
Members join for free, and can currently access the site from 139 countries with translations in ten different languages. The company headquarters is presently located in Las Vegas, NV. There are additional offices located in Ukraine and Singapore.
Currently there are a combined 2.6 million Sugar Babies active on the site—both male and female.
In 2010, SeekingArrangement.com began offering free Premium Memberships to students who register using their university email addresses. The company expanded its offering to college students in Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, France, and various parts of Europe.
In 2014, over 1.4 million students were registered on the website in search of Sugar Daddies and Sugar Mommies. Requests from Sugar Babies varied from assistance with college expenses to monthly allowances for living expenses.
In February 2015, Seeking Arrangement released a list of the top 20 colleges attended by girls using the website as sugar babies. The number one university on the list was the University of Texas with 425 new sign-ups in 2014. Other information on sugar babies was also provided such as the average allowance ($3,000 USD) and a break down of what girls spent their allowance on.
Although membership is free for Sugar Babies, Sugar Daddys (and Mommys) must pay for a monthly premium membership or pay for a 1-year Diamond Package.seeking an arrangement
