RISE AND GRIND

It ain’t easy being a dating app…unless you’re Grindr. At a time when its peers seem to be losing traction, the social networking service—which has long focused on gay, bi, trans, and queer people—is on a growth tear. Why? Because its loyal fan base is using it for travel services and other relationship-adjacent needs. Can Grindr build its business beyond the hookup? CEO George Arison makes the case.
