Co-founder COO @Inner Circle
London, GB
Inner Circle is less like a dating app, more like a member’s club made for dating. Niche by design, it’s for people who live ambitious, interesting lifestyles – and want to date people who move in similar circles. Built on the belief that opposites don’t attract, a thorough application and screening process curates a community where everyone is worth dating – and people have more in common than just being single.Built organically without funding, Inner Circle is a Dutch-born company - founded in 2012 - that has grown into a global network of over 7.2 million members.To keep up with everything Inner Circle visit about.theinnercircle.co/news or follow us on Instagram @innercircleco.

ABOUT MICHAEL KRAYENHOFF
I build and scale companies by raising standards, strengthening teams, and scaling execution.I’m an entrepreneur with over 14 years of experience founding and scaling businesses. I’m the Co-Founder of Inner Circle, a dating app founded in 2012, which has grown to over 8 million users across 50 countries. As Chief Operating Officer and acting Chief Marketing Officer, I sit at the intersection of leadership, hiring, execution, and growth.Across that journey, I’ve helped build teams from 0 to more than 50 people across two continents. I’ve interviewed of candidates and hired 100\'s of high performers, giving me a front-row seat to what separates teams that scale from those that stall. As companies grow, performance rarely breaks because of strategy. It breaks when clarity fades, standards slip, and execution becomes inconsistent. My perspective is practical and grounded in operating reality. High-performing companies are built by A-player teams, clear priorities, and leaders who combine ownership with humanity. My leadership principles are: Disciplined execution beats complexity. Trust works when standards are explicit. Momentum comes from focus, not motion.This account is for founders and leaders who want to build companies that perform consistently as they grow, without losing speed, accountability, or their human edge.To collaborate with me as a creator please contact: e••••••••@alecrickard.com
