How tinder made itself a big company?

Hi there

First I want to brief about tinder so it will be clear to you what sort of company is this.

Tinder is a geosocial networking and online dating application that allows users to anonymously swipe to like or dislike other profiles based on their photos, a small bio, and common interests. Once two users have “matched,” they can exchange messages. Tinder launched in 2012 within start-up incubator Hatch Labs as a joint venture between IAC and mobile app development firm Xtreme Labs By 2014, Tinder was registering about one billion “swipes” per day. Tinder originally required access to a Facebook account to use the app, but it began allowing users to register with just a telephone number in August 2019. It is accessible through a mobile app or a web browser for computers.

Founders & Co Founders ::

Tinder was founded within startup incubator Hatch Labs by Arun Gopan, Sean Rad, Jonathan Badeen, Justin Mateen, Joe Munoz, Dinesh Moorjani and Whitney Wolfe Herd, the latter of whom left Tinder to create Bumble in 2014.
