Very off-topic to my usual content but I saw that the Hinge founder just raised $18M for his new startup called Overtone


Overtone focuses on AI matchmaking without creating social profiles that people swipe through
Breaking into the dating app market is one of the most diffuclt markets as it's very tough (near impossible) to get to the size where you have enough real users to interact with each other
Prior to Overtone, we've seen new companies like Ditto do an AI-matchmaking idea and, sadly, I think with a company like Overtone having Match Group support and McLeod as the founder, these other AI dating startups will be likely drowned out
Not to say they can't find some niche success (we see plenty of smaller dating apps on the market) but I don't see much of a world in which one of the alternatives has a breakout that can rival a product backed by $MTCH (and well if they do, then Match Group will likely just acquire them)
MTCH-1.74%
