Sean Rad (born May 22, 1986) is an American entrepreneur and co-founder of the dating app Tinder.[1][2] Rad launched Tinder in 2012 and by 2014 the company was recording one billion "swipes" a day.[3]
Rad holds 15 patents for his work, including the patent for Tinder's "double opt-in" system, in which users must match before they can exchange messages.[4]
In 2017, Rad left Tinder over a valuation dispute with Tinder's parent company, IAC/Match Group. In 2018, Rad and Tinder's founding team filed a $2 billion dollar lawsuit against IAC. In 2022, the lawsuit was settled for $441 million dollars.[5]
