Match Group, Inc. is an American internet company headquartered in Dallas, Texas that owns and operates the world's largest portfolio of online dating platforms. The company's brands — spanning Tinder, Hinge, Match.com, OkCupid, and Plenty of Fish — collectively serve hundreds of millions of registered users across 190+ countries.
Match Group operates as a portfolio holding company, acquiring and scaling dating brands rather than competing as a single platform. Each brand serves a distinct user demographic and geographic market: Tinder (casual dating globally), Hinge (relationship-seekers in English-speaking markets), Match.com (older users seeking serious relationships), and so on.
The company generated approximately $3.4 billion in revenue in 2023, with Tinder accounting for roughly 55–60% of total revenue through its Gold, Platinum, and a-la-carte feature subscriptions. Hinge is Match Group's fastest-growing brand and is expected to become a larger revenue contributor as international expansion accelerates.
World's most popular dating app, available in 190+ countries and 40+ languages. Pioneered the swipe-based matching interface that defined modern mobile dating.

Match Group has been headquartered in Dallas, Texas throughout its existence as a public company. The Dallas office houses executive leadership, finance, legal, HR, and corporate strategy functions.
Match Group's operational structure is distributed: Tinder's product and engineering teams are primarily based in West Hollywood and Los Angeles, California. Hinge operates from New York City. Other brands have teams across the US, UK, and Europe. Dallas is the corporate center while product development occurs closer to tech talent hubs.
This distributed model is common among internet holding companies — the parent entity handles capital allocation, investor relations, and shared services from Dallas, while individual brand teams operate with significant autonomy in their respective cities.
