AI-driven dating

Hinge founder Justin McLeod is leaving his CEO role, succeeded by president Jackie Jantos, to launch Overtone, an AI‑driven, voice‑enabled dating service. McLeod will advise Hinge through March while Match Group, Hinge’s parent, will lead Overtone’s seed funding in early 2026 and retain a large equity stake, with CEO Spencer Rascoff joining its board. Overtone aims to boost match quality and revenue through AI‑enhanced profiling, positioning Match Group ahead of AI disruptions in online dating.
