Everyone knows the worldwide app known as Tinder. Tinder was founded by two guys named Sean Rad and Just Mateen; who started out as just of a couple of college bros.  Both dudes, just like many other guys in the world, were struggling to find and meet new people; so instead of just waiting for a solution to fall in their lap they went out and created one. Tinder allows for a user to view other people’s profiles and pictures, from near and far,  to either swipe right to “like” or left for “nope”. If two people have a mutual “like” for each other he/she is notified of a match and further interaction like sending a message to one another can be exchanged, depending on whether the user wants to or not. Tinder differs from just a typical match-making site because everything about the app is about being short and efficient. There is no need to put a life story in the bio, no need to extensively indulge in looking for a match,  no need to even make any significant commitment to the app itself.

The two founders didn’t create a dating site, they created a game. Something that is enjoyable and easily accessible to anyone with a smartphone. In doing so, Tinder has risen to be one of the most prominent and influential apps out there to date. Rad and Mateen hit it big with their invention, but that it is not stopping  them to continuously try to have improvements to their product. The pair understands the casual manner that people use Tinder and hope to be able to capture that spirit by transforming Tinder into an app just for meeting up whether it be as friends, relationships, etc.
