The Jewish Origins of Tinder

Most people have had a Tinder – the famous geo-location dating app that in reality is a haven for prostitutes (1) and for those looking to hook-up but without paying for the privilege – (2) profile at one time or another. What is interesting to us about Tinder is that it – like Grindr and Scruff for homosexuals and Blendr for heterosexuals – a rather jewish operation.

The six co-founders are listed as follows by Wikipedia: (3)

Jonathan Badeen

Whitney Wolfe Herd

Justin Mateen

Dinesh Moorjani

Joe Munoz

Sean Rad

Of these six individuals the following three are jewish:

Whitney Wolfe Herd (4)

Justin Mateen (5)

Sean Rad (6)

To be even more specific both Mateen and Rad are Iranian jews, (7) while Wolfe Herd is Ashkenazi. (8)

So, in other words: half of the founders of Tinder were jewish.
