What we found

Notable ownership history: Chinese gaming company Beijing Kunlun Tech bought Grindr in 2016-2018, then was ordered by CFIUS, the US foreign-investment security committee, to divest it on national security grounds because the app held users' location, messages and HIV status. Kunlun sold to US-based San Vicente Acquisition Partners in 2020 for about US$608M. Grindr went public in 2022 and trades as NYSE: GRND.
