About OkCupid
OkCupid was founded in 2004 by Harvard mathematics graduates and matched people using answers to a long questionnaire. Its blog analysing its own data was widely read, and it was acquired by IAC in 2011 for about $50 million. Match Group now owns it, so a service built to differentiate itself from Match.com is run by the same company, which is true of most of the apps people switch between.
