HowAboutWe is based in Dumbo, Brooklyn, just a short walk from the Manhattan and Brooklyn Bridges.
Since it's Brooklyn, there are lots of bikes parked outside its building — even in the winter. About 10 percent of HowAboutWe staffers bike to work.
Across the street is Brooklyn Roasting Company, a popular coffee shop for startups and other creative professionals to take meetings.
Inside we're greeted by Victoria Germano, HowAboutWe's operations manager.
Co-founders Aaron Schildkrout, left, and Brian Schechter sit in the center of the office. They're childhood friends who were both teachers before launching the dating site.
They've hired 43 employees since launching HowAboutWe in April 2010.
Brad Heintz, Jerry Wong and James Paolantonio make up the iOS development team. They're looking at development stories in Pivotal Tracker.
This is a developer standup meeting. Other teams also hold AM standing meetings.
The kitchen is fully stocked.
Kate Huyett, who's taking a call at the communal tables, worked at Goldman Sachs before becoming HowAboutWe's VP of Acquisition, Retention & Revenue.
Senior Engineer Rebecca Miller-Webster works on HowAboutWe for Couples, one of its newer products.
That's the Couples dashboard, which shows daily, real-time metrics.
On the design wall, employees weigh in with Post-It notes. "It's kind of like analog A/B testing," says Schildkrout.
Schildkrout spends a lot of his time walking around the office, strategizing with different teams.
Across the room three senior engineers discuss their gameplan for the day.
As we're leaving, Schildkrout is still making the rounds.
Now it's back to Business Insider's office in Manhattan.
