Earlier this year, sometime in February, I tweeted a tongue in cheek comment that MatchGroup’s acquisition of Hyperconnect would result in the company eating Facebook’s lunch, as a contrast to Facebook absorbing dating market share from MatchGroup.

Someone responded, asking for me to define the opportunity I saw in the acquisition, asking me to share some thoughts about what I had learned from studying the deal.

I sent over my rough notes, we discussed the acquisition further, as well as some other things, and became acquainted. Twitter doing its thing once again, and I was now connected with an intelligent investor.

That investor was Alex Morris, or as some of you might know him, “The Science of Hitting” (@TSOH_Investing).
