Feeld Dating App Posts 32% Revenue Jump, Issues Record Dividend
UK-based niche dating platform Feeld hit £64m in revenue and paid a record £3.8m dividend as user growth accelerated.
Feeld, a London-headquartered dating application targeting non-monogamous, queer and kink-curious users, reported a 32% surge in annual revenues to £64 million, the company disclosed in recent filings. The strong performance prompted the platform's founders to authorize a record dividend payout of £3.8 million, the largest in the company's history.
The app, which markets itself as a space "for the curious" and positions its offering around open relationships and alternative lifestyles, credited growing interest from users seeking something beyond mainstream dating services. The company described its audience as "open-minded people exploring love, desire, and alternative relationships in a safe, inclusive space" — language that signals a deliberate effort to distinguish itself from larger, more conventional competitors.
