What is special about Hinge?
Hinge is a dating app that uses Facebook to find matches. It’s supposed to be more serious than most dating apps, where people just want someone to hang out with or go on dates with (in contrast, Hinge doesn’t allow users to post their location unless they have both mutually ‘liked’ each other). The company has raised $5 million in venture capital funding so far and has 1 million users. While Hinge says they are not planning on advertising to acquire new users, it can be assumed that all of these growth metrics will likely increase when they start coming out in the public eye.
