About Tinder

You've heard of us. Launched in 2012, Tinder® revolutionized how people meet, growing from 1 match to one billion matches in just two years. This rapid growth demonstrates its ability to fulfill a fundamental human need: real connection. Today, the app has been downloaded over 630 million times, leading to over 100 billion matches, serving over 47 million users per month in 190 countries and 45+ languages - a scale unmatched by any other app in the category. Awards? Check. In 2024, Tinder won four Effie Awards for its first-ever global brand campaign, "It Starts with a Swipe™," and eight awards from Comparably, including Best Engineering Teams, Best Product & Design Teams, and Best Career Growth. Rounding out this award-winning year, Built In named us Best Place to Work in the U.S., Los Angeles, and San Francisco.
