Justin McLeod

Justin grew up in Louisville, KY and studied at Colgate University. After a few years in management consulting, he attended Harvard Business School and decided to follow his passion for connecting people. Justin founded Hinge in February 2011 with a mission to create real-life connections. As a romantic and the protagonist of a real-life love story, he relaunched Hinge to create a culture of thoughtful dating, the dating app designed to be deleted. Justin’s vision for a more thoughtful experience resonated with millennials and led to the company's user base growing 400% in 2018.
