Tinder
8833 W Sunset Blvd, West Hollywood, CA, 90069, United States
Overview
Tinder anonymously finds people nearby that like each other and connects them if they are both interested. Every time you open Tinder, you’ll immediately see new, interesting people nearby, along with friends or interests you have in common. Swipe right to like or left to pass on each person’s profile. All swipes are anonymous. No one will ever know you’ve passed on their profile. Only once you’ve both swiped right on each other will your newfound match be revealed.

Participated · Seed · Sep 2016
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.
