By Amy Andersen, Founder and CEO of Linx Dating
I recently hosted an incredibly memorable event at the Rosewood Sand Hill Hotel memorializing over two decades of my running Linx Dating.
The Rosewood is particularly symbolic for me as I hosted one of the original private events at the hotel when it opened in 2009. Vanity Fair magazine got wind of the excitement of my Link & Drink and ended up doing a feature on love in Silicon Valley that became a global sensation.
Over 120 members of the Linx network helped me celebrate 20 incredible years of love and matchmaking in Silicon Valley and reminded me how beyond grateful and honored I am to wear the title of Cupid of Silicon Valley.
My small but mighty team Dani Geary and Caroline Novia stood by my side and, collectively, we made our guests feel warm, welcome, and appreciated for how wonderful they are! Our guests networked and made excellent professional connections and, as in true Link & Drink fashion, we witnessed some sparks potentially blossoming into love connections.
As my toast illuminated, it’s hard for me to articulate how deeply meaningful my business is to me. It has been the source of such deep satisfaction to me over the years. But far beyond me, I also wanted to make it clear how grateful I am for your supporting our local community and female run businesses.
Cheers to another 20 years of matchmaking and spreading more love in this world!
I’ve been deeply touched by all the praise and kind words shared after the event. It’s incredibly fulfilling to know that our efforts have resonated with so many and created truly memorable experiences.
"Thank you for hosting in such a beautiful setting, a true pleasure to attend and meeting so many interesting people as well. Wishing you a happy 20th celebration of Linx and with many more successful years to come!"
"Thank you for the invitation to your 20 year anniversary of Linx. You are an inspiration to women business owners and your care, attention, and sincerity are evident in all that you do. I had a lovely time. Thank you again for the invitation and I wish you, and your lovely team much success!”
“To honor you as you have done so much for us. You are so special to me. A sister from another mister;) I love you and I celebrate all the magic you do in the world. Xoxox”
"Thank you for hosting in such a beautiful setting, a true pleasure to attend and meeting so many interesting people as well. Wishing you a happy 20th celebration of Linx and with many more successful years to come!"
"Thank you so much for putting on and inviting me to the 20th year anniversary celebration of Linx. The locale, mix of people, drinks/appetizers/desserts were all amazing. You were receiving major kudos from everyone regarding your professionalism, kindness, responsiveness and making a difference in people's lives. Here's to the next 20 years! :-)"
"Amy - I am really looking forward to being there to celebrate a true success story of American Entrepreneurism! Cheers!!”
“Dear Amy, Congrats to Linx’s 20th year anniversary! Your vision, hard work, and dedication has brought success and impacted so many lives for the better. We celebrate this milestone with you!”
“Congrats on everything! Thank you for all you're done for love around the world!”
“I am so proud of all your accomplishments and be the countless marriages and children that have some about from all you hard work and passion cultivating love in this world.”
“Congratulations on 20 incredible years! Through your vision, passion, and extraordinary talent, Linx has become a trusted haven where people discover the beauty of deep, meaningful relationships.”
“You should be very proud of building a maintaining a district, high-end luxury service brand with premium pricing as a TRUE entrepreneur! EXTREME congrats for 20 years!”
"It was a terrific event and I had the opportunity to meet some interesting people! I also want to give you my congratulations (again) on achieving 20 years of success! I think Linx Dating must literally be a labor of love because in at least one way it is a terrible business proposition - if you do your job well, you will have zero repeat customers! Nevertheless, I saw that you have an enthusiastic fan club so you are clearly doing a lot of things right.”
"Thanks again for including me in your 20th Anniversary event. It was so lovely interacting with the wonderful community you've created and hearing all the well-deserved accolades. (Talk about an Amy fan club!) I look forward to seeing you again soon and wish you continued happiness and success ahead. Sending kudos and big hugs!”
"It was an absolute pleasure meeting you in person last week at your unforgettable event at the Rosewood Sand Hill Hotel. I am truly honored to have been part of such a special occasion, celebrating over two decades of Linx Dating's remarkable journey.”
“I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to connect with you, your wonderful team, and the extraordinary people you bring together. Your passion for fostering connections and love in Silicon Valley is truly inspiring, and I am so glad you enjoyed my card and gift. The warmth, energy, and genuine care that you, Dani, and Caroline extended to everyone was deeply felt.”
“Thank you for sharing the beautiful picture from the event—it captures the essence of the celebration and the incredible memories we created together. I’m so looking forward to seeing you again at next week’s event and continuing to support your mission of spreading love and connection.”
In a delightful surprise that left guests buzzing, Monika Spruch of Catwalk Opera graced the stage with a breathtaking performance at our event. Her enchanting voice and stage presence truly made her one of the highlights of the evening!
