One of the world's largest dating-app companies, Match Group runs a portfolio of apps that includes Tinder (famous for the swipe), relationship-focused Hinge, and Match, OkCupid, Plenty of Fish, and Meetic, used by people looking for everything from casual chats to marriage. Its roots trace to Match.com, an early internet dating site launched in 1995, and the group was later bundled by IAC and spun off as an independent company in 2020. Tinder's name came from a "Matchbox" prototype—the founders wanted a fire theme for "starting a spark" and settled on the word for dry kindling.
