CNBC - Justin McLeod, before founding Hinge, was on track for a consulting career, with a job offer from McKinsey and a business degree from Harvard. However, his entrepreneurial spirit led him to invest his $12K signing bonus from McKinsey into starting a dating website, Hinge. Despite initial skepticism from his parents and the eventual demand from McKinsey to return the bonus after delaying his start date multiple times, McLeod's venture into the dating app world proved successful. Hinge has grown to be a major player in the dating app market, generating $396M in direct revenue in 2023 under the Match Group portfolio.
