Considering the Many Punny Headline Options for Match.com’s Impending IPO
The Match Group—parent company of dating brands Match, OkCupid and Tinder—has announced that it’s preparing for an initial public offering and expecting a big, billion-dollars valuation. The company is also going on a roadshow to court potential investors.
