In the company’s own words
Grindr Inc. (NYSE: GRND) operates the Grindr platform, a global social networking application primarily serving gay, bisexual, and sexually explorative adults worldwide. The company's website is grindr.com.
Founded in 2009 and taken public through a merger with special-purpose acquisition company Tiga in November 2022, Grindr has established itself as the largest global GBTQ-focused mobile social platform with presence in over 190 countries and territories. The platform generated 15.0 million average monthly active users and 1.3 million average paying users during 2025, representing organic growth driven by first-mover advantage and brand recognition within the LGBTQ community.
The company operates a dual revenue model comprising direct revenue from user subscriptions and premium features, and indirect revenue from third-party advertising. The Grindr platform enables users to create identity profiles, discover and connect with others through location-based features, share content, and access premium subscription tiers offering enhanced functionality. Core features include identity expression tools, connection and search capabilities with advanced filtering, real-time chat and media sharing, and integrated safety and trust mechanisms.
Beyond its core dating and social networking application, Grindr expanded into health and wellness through Woodwork by Grindr, a telehealth subscription service launched in May 2025 that facilitates access to treatments and prescription medications. The company also operates Grindr for Equality, a social impact initiative focused on advancing LGBTQ health and human rights globally through HIV prevention programs, marriage equality advocacy, and community partnerships across 71 countries.
Grindr's technology foundation includes proprietary location-based systems, a full-stack artificial intelligence architecture called gAI designed to enhance user experience, and comprehensive data protection infrastructure utilizing encryption and automated content moderation. The company employs 165 people globally, with offices in West Hollywood, San Francisco, Chicago, and New York City, supplemented by a dedicated contractor engineering team. The platform supports 21 languages and serves a highly engaged user base characterized by significant daily interaction and strong brand loyalty within the LGBTQ community.
