About Fling
With over 50 billion Flings delivered on the platform and over **100 million Flings opened monthly** (increasing 30% m-o-m), we are the world’s largest platform for randomised social discovery. We got tired of Social Networks that connect you to your friends, friends of friends and those in the same location as you. How do you meet new people around the world through serendipity? With Fling, your snaps go to 50-500 people globally, chosen totally at random every time you send. You can get followed, receive private photo replies and chat with new people in different countries. The company has raised over $21m in funding.
