Match Group

Headquartered in Dallas, Texas, Match Group operates the world's largest portfolio of dating applications. The company manages a diverse ecosystem of brands including Tinder, Match.com, Hinge, OkCupid, Plenty of Fish, Meetic, Pairs, BLK, Upward, OurTime, and Azar. Each platform serves a specific niche within the relationship market, ranging from casual hookups to serious long-term commitments.

While the entity was established as a holding company in 2009 to consolidate assets acquired by IAC/InterActiveCorp, it spun off as an independent public company in 2015. Sam Yagan led the early consolidation efforts before handing the reins to executives like Shar Dubey and eventually Glenn Schiffman. The organization now employs thousands of people globally to maintain its presence in over 40 countries. [edit]
