Hinge Bets on Slow Dating and Real-World Connection as Gen Z Turns Away From Swiping Apps

Posted on June 4, 2025

HingeTECH CRUNCH – Hinge CMO Jackie Jantos spoke at SXSW London about the app's focus on reducing loneliness among Gen Z by encouraging more intentional dating and in-person connection. Hinge has seen growth in revenue and downloads, outperforming Tinder in Q1 2025. The platform is testing features like chat limits, profile coaching, and Warm Introductions to improve match quality. A new AI recommender launched in March has increased matches by 15%. Hinge also launched the $1M One More Hour fund to support Gen Z social initiatives and continues to run campaigns and events that promote real-world connection.
