US-owned · Vancouver, BC (operations) / Dallas, Texas (Match Group)
The clearest case of a Canadian dating company that stopped being Canadian. Founded in Vancouver in 2003 by Markus Frind and famously run as a near-solo operation, it was sold to Match Group in 2015 for US$575M in cash — a sale that required federal industry minister approval under the Investment Canada Act. Still operates from Vancouver, but owned by Match Group (NASDAQ: MTCH) of Dallas.
