Vina is a social network focused on helping women make and nurture friendships. The app applies social-introduction mechanics akin to dating apps but is centered on friend-finding and female empowerment. Vina recently closed a $1.4 million seed round (terms undisclosed). Tinder participated in the round and is offering mentorship and potential collaboration. Match Group approved Tinder’s allocation of funds, and both companies will remain separate entities for the time being. The investment is framed as a step toward broader friend-finding verticals and could lead to deeper integration or acquisition down the line.
