From Swipe to Scale: How Tinder Became #1

In 1995, just 2% of couples met online. Today, that number has surged to over 50%, making online dating the top way couples connect.

In this episode, a16z General Partner Andrew Chen chats with Tinder founder Sean Rad about how he built an app that changed culture. Sean shares why seamless experiences matter, how startups often get marketing wrong, and how Tinder became the catalyst for online dating's explosive growth.

This conversation was recorded live in LA at a16z’s Games third Speedrun program. Learn more about Speedrun: https://a16z.com/games/speedrun/
