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.

Help us reach our goal
In our recent reader survey, we were delighted to hear that people value Vox because we help them educate themselves and their families, spark their curiosity, explain the moment, and make our work approachable.
Reader gifts support this mission by helping to keep our work free — whether we’re adding nuanced context to events in the news or explaining how our economy got where it is. While we’re committed to keeping Vox free, our distinctive brand of explanatory journalism does take a lot of resources, and gifts help us rely less on advertising. We’re aiming to raise 3,000 new gifts by December 31 to help keep this valuable work free. Will you help us reach our goal and support our mission by making a gift today?
