  • Résumé

  • Justin Mateen set out to make dating simple—no lengthy profiles, no uncertainty—just a "yes" or "no" swipe. Today, Tinder’s user base has expanded to 75 million monthly active users. Justin has continued building on his success by investing in promising startups through his $500M+ family office and JAM Fund. JAM Fund alone has raised $500 million, with $330 million dedicated to its second fund. In this episode, he and I sat down to discuss Tinder’s highs, struggles, and the lessons learned along the way. We also unpack: • the evolution of the 'swipe left/right' phenomenon • whether Facebook played to his subconscious while building Tinder, and why • putting all your eggs in one basket → asymmetric returns Justin’s investing firm, Jam Fund, raised about $300 million from investors for its second fund last year. ABOUT US: We’re proudly sponsored by Brex—a brand I co-founded, now supporting over 30,000 businesses like Anthropic, DoorDash, and Scale AI, helping them make every dollar count. I’m grateful for their continued support as I bring you all conversations with some of the most exceptional founders of our generation. Onward and upward, together. Connect with us here: 1.
