Floxx, the re-launched Fitfinder now backed by serial UK Angel investor Doug Richard, has re-emerged after a difficult birth on the campus of a UK university. To rewind quickly:
Last year Rich Martell, 21, a final-year computer sciences student at University College London, founded of a UK site integrated with Facebook and Twitter allowing students to flirt. Sounds like The Facebook huh? Except this student was fined £300 for bringing his university into disrepute. FitFinder only started in May but rapidly expanded to universities across the country before having to be taken down.
UCL said it had been contacted by a number of other universities unhappy about FitFinder. It fined Martell £300 under UCL’s “Disciplinary Code of Bringing the College into Disrepute” and told him that failure to pay the fine would put his degree at risk.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
