The company that owns Tinder is preparing to go public

It may surprise you to find out that Match.com, OKCupid, and Tinder are all owned by a Dallas-based company known as Match Group, and that the company is filing for an IPO. Considering how it pulled in nearly $500 million in the first half of this year, it’s not all that surprising that the company is going public, but its growth isn’t all that impressive, which is what the IPO is supposed to give it the funds to fix. As for how much it hopes to raise, the filing says $100 million, but that number may change before the IPO.
