Feeld pays founders record £3.8m as revenues climb to £64m

UK-based dating app Feeld said it paid its founders a £3.8m dividend after revenues rose 24% to £64m, driven largely by users outside the UK and growing interest from people moving away from mainstream apps.

Feeld, a London-founded dating platform aimed at non-monogamous, queer and kinky users, said it paid its founders a record dividend of £3.8m after reporting a strong increase in sales.

The company reported revenues of £64m, a rise of 24% year-on-year, and said users based outside the UK now account for nearly 90% of its revenues. The firm attributed the growth to a surge in interest from what it described as “open-minded people exploring love, desire, and alternative relationships in a safe, inclusive space.”

Positioning itself as a niche alternative to mainstream dating apps, Feeld said it has drawn new users from more conventional services. The company emphasised its focus on providing a platform for people seeking non-traditional relationship models and queer and kinky communities.

The payout to founders is the largest the company has made, reflecting the stronger sales performance. Feeld’s statement highlighted international demand as a key driver of the business’s recent expansion, underscoring the platform’s increasingly global user base.
