More than 15 years ago, we created www.bearwww.com to unite the gay bears community at large. Since we have made it grow over the years and we have added an iPhone application and an Android application. Today "bearwww" enjoys international renown and has trademarks registered in several countries. World leader in its category, "bearwww" has retained its members (some profiles are present and active for more than 15 years) but also ensure renewal (21% of profiles are less than a year). Today the site has more than 160,000 active profiles; through effective monitoring / administration, we have gained a reputation for being serious and user-friendly, and our user base has fewer false profiles or abandoned profiles than our competitors. After more than 17 years in the service of "bearwww", the founding partners now want to retire.
