A Decade After Tinder And Hinge, VCs Embrace New Crop Of Dating Apps That Aim To Spark Connections Differently

Tinder and Bumble may be the mainstays in the world of dating apps, but a new crop of dating startups is getting venture funding to help people find connections in new mediums.

According to Crunchbase data, there were 43 funding rounds to VC-backed companies in the dating space last year, totaling more than $31 million. The vast majority of companies raised angel, pre-seed and seed rounds (only three were of a different stage\u2013Series A), meaning VC interest in the dating sector last year was focused on the earliest-stage companies.

Among the companies to raise money are audio-based dating apps, video-based dating apps, and meme-based dating apps (yes, really).

Heart to Heart is an audio-first dating app aiming to bring back some intimacy to the process of finding the right person for next foray.

How do you think people will meet and date from now on?
