Ladies and Gentlemen:

On behalf of Zoosk, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), we hereby request, pursuant to Rule 477 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), that the Registration Statement on Form S-1, together with all exhibits and amendments thereto (File No. 333-195320), as originally filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on April 16, 2014, and most recently amended on May 1, 2014 (the “Registration Statement”), be withdrawn effective immediately. The Company is seeking withdrawal of the Registration Statement because of unfavorable market conditions. The Registration Statement has not been declared effective and none of the Company’s securities has been sold pursuant to the Registration Statement.

The Company requests in accordance with Rule 457(p) promulgated under the Securities Act that all fees paid to the Commission in connection with the filing of the Registration Statement be credited for future use.

The Company requests that the Commission consent to this application on the grounds that the withdrawal of the Registration Statement is consistent with the public interest and the protection of investors, as contemplated by paragraph (a) of Rule 477 promulgated under the Securities Act.
