About Grindr

Grindr operates a social networking app built for LGBTQ users, giving gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer people a place to connect, share experiences and media, and express themselves openly. The platform is best known as a dedicated meeting ground for this community rather than a general-purpose social network.

The service works on two levels: anyone can use it for free with ads supported, while a paid subscription tier offers membership benefits beyond the basic experience. Its customer base consists of individuals within the LGBTQ community looking to meet others and share in a space built around their identities.

Grindr was founded in 2009 and operates out of West Hollywood, California. Its shares trade on the NYSE under the ticker GRND.
