San Francisco -- Zoosk, the San Francisco-based developer of a romantic social network, said it plans to move its corporate headquarters to a 52,000-square-foot facility at 989 Market Street. The company said the larger space will help accommodate its growth, as it expands from 102 employees to around 160 by the end of this year. "We needed more room to grow and a location that will help attract top talent," said co-CEO Alex Mehr. We also wanted a space that was more in-line with Zoosk's fun and creative culture instead of a traditional, corporate office." The new lease more than doubles Zoosk's current Financial District footprint of 21,000 square feet. The building also houses Zendesk. Founded in 2007, Zoosk is backed by Canaan Partners, Bessemer Venture Partners and ATA Ventures.
