Tinder Revenue Estimate

This is an interesting way of decomposing a business model in general, not just documenting existing companies. I could see something like this chipping away at the Excel models…

This interface generalizes nicely to estimating any Fermi problem, not just business models. I love it!

This is really interesting. Thank you!

I think this number is a massive underestimate of their annual top-line. Based on the cost of a subscription I'd bet it's in the $1B+ range.

Agreed. Having worked at a dating app that had a significantly smaller user base, the revenue numbers are definitely low balled.

The subscription price varies substantially according to age and region. I also suspect that they make a lot of money from "whales", i.e. people with the most expensive…

I love the idea here, but I don't find the report very easy to read.

I like the site's intended purpose, but I agree with others that design needs improvement. Also, perhaps you can source some data from public data (i.e annual report, appannie).

in my mind that looks something like a spreadsheet but more structured, say like the old https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TK_Solver There is a large precedent of people writing…

Cool! I think evidence-backed modeling is a really interesting idea. As an unsolicited suggestion, I wonder if there's a way to emphasize numbers that are backed by evidence…

Yeah, but none of that information is surfaced in the high-level report. If I'm reading this I'd like to have an idea of each number's validity.

Really cool idea. It would be awesome if you could crowdsource the data for any companies through employees - some big companies don't have much transparency on revenue numbers,…

Yes I've done that manually. In my head I would love for it to be something even more collaborative 'Wikipedia-style' and people would help keep the numbers up to date. Of course…

Suggestion: be able to specify ranges for variable estimates, and give ranges for the answers to calculations.

Definitely something I'm thinking about. Maybe even some kind of "confidence interval" of confidence ratio could be added next to an estimate.

Feedback: consider ditching the .00 on the numbers and spelling out "million"/"billion." It's a lot easier to quickly read "$36.2 million" than "$36,200,000.00"

Or better yet, $36.2M

I really like what you're doing here. Two things that I would like as a user: -ability to get updates (pref email) when new companies are added or companies I follow are updated…

Cool stuff. I've noticed that some times you source numbers from news articles, which you reference. How do you plan to keep the numbers updated? EDIT: In fact, how have you done…

Where are you getting these models?

I did an internship for a mobile games studio. They had really detailed estimates of competitor revenues because they were able to combine: 1) their own daily revenue from titles…

You should allow requests to add or alter data, mostly like nomadlist.com do (example [1]). The owner could discuss and accept or reject the request. I think it would enrich the…
