Usually there is some innovation with each new app they purchase. Of the big ones:

OkCupid: Matching using questions/answers + statistical modeling

Tinder: Simple swipe left/right model + hook up emphasis

Hinge: Emphasizes long term connections + "designed to be deleted"

So best way to get acquired would be to find a new niche and an innovative way to appeal to that niche.

Here's mine:

Potential dates are matched with a set number of people at random.

The potential date interrogates the matches within a specific subject area, using a specified format and context.

After a preset length of time or number of questions, the quesioner is then asked to decide which respondent was human and which was a computer.

If the quesioner guesses human and is correct, they can choose to go on a date.
