• 3. Grindr is becoming a global super app for gay & bi men Enhancing & expanding Core use case with AI, while creating new DTC businesses as we build the Global Gayborhood in Your PocketTM Core Business Connecting gay and bi men for hookups, dates, long-term relationships, friendships – and making it even better. We're not just fixing infrastructure or adding features – we're building innovative new products that give users new value and they. Fully integrated native AI We are creating enduring value by combining our proprietary AI architectural layer with our unparalleled datasets to create something truly unique. A-List and Discover are just the first examples – we're going to deploy this through the entire app. This user experience will enable a premium service and create sustained value. Gayborhood Expansion Just like our users congregate in physical neighborhoods and frequent the same businesses, we're building a digital neighborhood where they can find products and services they need – e.g., medications; wellness and fitness products; luxury experiences; travel; networking. 2 1 3

• 5. To us, AI-native means rebuilding product, architecture, and operations with intelligence embedded at every layer — not bolted on as a feature

• 6. Introducing Grindr AI (gAI, pronounced ‘Gay I’) We’re building a full-stack foundation, gAI, made up of 3 layers: A model layer, comprised of our own custom models and the best third-party foundation models; An architecture layer, where we leverage Grindr’s rich behavioral, conversational, and male imagery data to evaluate, combine, and enhance all of our models – generating novel insights and powerful capabilities for gay-specific contexts and needs; and An application layer, which synthesizes these capabilities into valuable, differentiated user experiences. Application layer (specific functions or domain products) Architecture layer (technologies enabling deployment of AI and incumbents with large datasets, distribution, network integrations) Foundational Models (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic) 2 3 1 gAI is not just AI - it’s a proprietary Grindr-native intelligence stack designed to capture gay cultural context, behavior patterns, and intent signals at scale

• 7. ➔ Foundational models (e.g., OpenAI, Grok, Anthropic) are fast becoming a commodity ➔ It is getting cheaper to create and train new models, with competition now shifting to price and distribution ➔ New foundational models are getting better and more advanced, but we believe the advantage will go to those who integrate and apply these models most effectively gAI can drive previously unimaginable user experiences + sustainable competitive advantage

• 8. t ➔ The Application layer includes products that leverage foundational models for specific functions or categories ➔ Ranges from specific functions (e.g., AI agent for software engineering) to specific domains (e.g., AI-powered application for pharmaceutical sales teams – new SaaS) ➔ As foundational models advance, they’re increasingly able to perform many of these same functions directly ➔ However, domain-specific apps still offer key advantages - Incremental value of specialized/proprietary data; - Domain-specific task optimization; and - Lower priority from the big players to chase down in the long tail gAI can drive previously unimaginable user experiences + sustainable competitive advantage

• 9. The architecture layer is the crucial middle layer of GenAI, comprised of two buckets: ➔ Enablers: Companies creating technologies to enable others with data to deploy and integrate their own AI more easily ➔ Incumbents with Advantage: Organizations that already possess large datasets, distribution, network, and talent — positioned to win by deploying in-house models and synthetic agents With Grindr’s network, loyal user base, and massive datasets, Grindr is well positioned to build this architecture layer to become an AI-first company (gAI), creating a sustainable competitive advantage We are layering these capabilities into the live app throughout 2025–2027 gAI can drive previously unimaginable user experiences + sustainable competitive advantage

• 10. Grindr’s distribution, datasets, and competitive advantage are the key ingredients of a winning AI-native strategy

• 11. A-List: Grindr’s first AI-native product at scale is redefining how users connect A-List ➔ A-List uses AI to prioritize high-potential chats, summarize conversations, deliver insights, and guide users back in with intent ➔ This streamlines app navigation, increasing user value, and creating new surface area for long-term monetization ➔ In early testing, A-List has received overwhelmingly positive feedback – users highlight the chat summaries as “incredible” and call them our “best new feature” for accuracy and usefulness ➔ A-List is expected to be a strong proof point of how gAI can turn proprietary data into differentiated experiences that drive value to users and revenue to our business ➔ A-List was rolled out in 2025 with broader monetization expected to start in 2026 Grindr users send over 130 billion chats a year – more than 50 chats per daily user – and A-List transforms that activity into smarter, best-fit priority connections with thoughtful, rich summaries of conversations that have already taken place

• 12. We began development of gAI in 2024, and key capabilities are in production today, with full-scale deployment planned across the app starting in 2026 ➔ We’re building Grindr as an AI-native company from the inside out — with intelligence embedded into every layer of our infrastructure, systems, capabilities, and people ➔ Agentic AI is deeply supporting our engineering team – boosting productivity per workload by up to 10x and contributing up to 20% of shipped code ➔ We’re rapidly training gAI to understand gay life & cultural norms in depth ➔ We’ve implemented a robust privacy framework tailored to the unique sensitivities of our user base ➔ We’re building a world-class talent engine at the intersection of Product, Engineering, and AI – with a deliberate focus on AI-native engineers Operationalizing gAI to drive scale and durable competitive advantage

• 13. Grindr’s advantage ➔ We’re well positioned to execute at the architecture level – we can build a truly unique proprietary AI infrastructure ◆ We own the data-and-model “plumbing” that powers every AI feature: 130 billion chats/year1 ➔ Our distribution and engagement is best-in-class: 14.9M monthly active users spending approx. an hour a day on Grindr ➔ Our architecture continuously evolves as users continue to use the app, and we can continue to build new applications on top of our architecture ◆ For example, applications for Dating (matchmaking, insights, Wingman) could be different from Right Now use cases t The gAI advantage 1. Approx. For the year ending of December 31, 2024.
