Grindr CEO Says AI VC Bubble Threatens To Slap Tech Like Wet Dates
George Arison, Grindr's fearless CEO, weighed in on the AI VC bubble that's juicier than his app's gAI ('gay-I') rollout. Warned that 'great companies' might get destroyed by the overstuffed pockets of VCs chasing splashes in AI appsānot models. Citing SoftBank's nine-billion-dollar WeWork disaster and a $375 million burned pizza startup, Zume, George painted a cautionary tale of venture capital's herd mentality: 'Wherever the three sheep go, everyone follows.' Meanwhile, Elon Musk's Grok got props for possibly outsmarting the big brains, and Arison himself still keeps it polyamorous with AI, using both Cursor and Anthropic at Grindrābecause one vibe-coding tool just isnāt enough to swipe right on success.

Grindrās CEO warns AI VCs are herd-like sheep blindly throwing billions, killing startups like dead dates while Elon Muskās Grok shines. Who knew dating apps would become the ultimate AI relationship counselor for venture capital disasters?
The AI bubble's like a bad dating profile: VCs keep swiping right on every flashy pitch until the badly matched startups get ghosted. Grindr CEO isnāt impressed and neither should you be.
Elon Muskās Grok might be the new hot date, but the VC bubble around AI is that clingy ex who wonāt stop overfunding weird apps no one asked for. Even Grindr wants nothing to do with that kind of drama.
