'Cougars & Co' Social Networking Hooks Up Older Women & Younger Men

— March 14, 2010 — Life-Stages
Cougars & Co. is a members-only online community where older women and younger men can meet, attend members-only social events, or participate in getaway vacations.

The startup is the brainchild of a 48-year-old woman who noticed that younger men (cubs) were on the prowl for cougars, and that cougars were looking for cubs. The key to such hookups was easy, no long-term commitments. So, her idea, a club for cougars and the “company” they keep, became Cougars and Co.
