Tinder - Startup Story

Smartphones gave online dating a new life. The founders thought that in the future mobiles will be used more than that of the computers because computers are just working devices which are going extinct soon. So, the founders created an opportunity and soon made a blueprint of a gamified dating app.

Sean and Justin crossed paths when both were at school in Los Angeles, California, USA. But soon after the story began when both met at the University of South California, 1st semester in 2004. Both were doing different jobs after their college got over. Both the friends wanted to do something of their own, something where two people could become friends with common interests. Jonathan, Dinesh and a few others joined and a complete team was created. Tinder came into existence. It was only for iOS users but after seeing the craze of the people android users were able to use it too.
