Bull Thesis
Grindr’s combination of high user engagement, strong margins, and two transformative catalysts (EDGE and Woodwork) creates a multi-year ARPU expansion story unappreciated at an 11x EBITDA multiple.
2. Two independent catalyst blocks
- EDGE premium subscription alone could add a year of incremental revenue.
- Combined, these catalysts justify a higher multiple on forward EBITDA.

Two major upcoming catalysts, EDGE (a premium subscription tier) and Woodwork (a direct-to-consumer telehealth offering), each have the potential to add roughly a year of incremental revenue growth independently.

Back to thesis
With 15 million MAUs, over 40% EBITDA margins, and engagement well above peers, Grindr has substantial ARPU expansion potential that is not reflected in the current valuation.
