Grindr gets buyout offer to take dating app private
Los Angeles Times
|October 28, 2025
Grindr, the publicly traded company behind the popular dating and social networking app for LGBTQ+ people, is closer to becoming private.
GRINDR put on a show outside the New York Stock Exchange in 2022 as it went public after a merger.

On Friday, two of Grindr’s board members who are also major investors offered to acquire the West Hollywood company for $18 per share in cash, a proposal that would value Grindr at nearly $3.5 billion.
The buyout offer represents a 51% premium over the company’s stock price on Oct. 10. It’s a sign that the dating app is facing another inflection point as Gen Z users, tired of swiping through potential matches, move toward in-person interactions.
