Tinder co-founder Sean Rad talked with Recode's Kara Swisher at the 2016 Code Conference about how being fired and temporarily replaced as CEO helped him learn how to be a better CEO. Here’s the full video of the interview.
And via our podcast Recode Replay, here is the full audio of Rad’s appearance:
Now back in the top leadership role, he said Tinder currently has more than a million paying users. Rad noted the dating app is experimenting more with advertising, which is delivered via its same iconic swipe-right or swipe-left mechanism.
He also explained a new product for groups of friends being tested in Australia called Tinder Social that will start spreading globally soon.

We have a request
In moments like this — as people grapple to understand variants and vaccines, and kids head back to school — many outlets take their paywalls down. Vox’s content is always free, in part because of financial support from our readers. We’ve been covering the Covid-19 pandemic for more than a year and a half. From the beginning, our goal was to bring clarity to chaos. To empower people with the information they needed to stay safe. And we’re not stopping.
To our delight, you, our readers, helped us hit our goal of adding 2,500 financial contributions in September in just 9 days. So we’re setting a new goal: to add 4,500 contributions by the end of the month. Reader support helps keep our coverage free, and is a critical part of sustaining our resource-intensive work. Will you help us reach our goal by making a contribution to Vox with as little as $3?
