真的有一家大型的上市交友公司，那就是match，嗯，他們擁有tinder以及很多小的朋友，最近這支股票做得非常好。

It clocked 42 million monthly active users as of the third quarter of 2020 but is now the right time to invest, with lockdowns crippling the dating scene.

According Toa Einhorn, the Apse design presents a unique enough proposition designed around letting women make the first move.

You know, most of the revenue comes from their flagship app, bumbled itself, and that is fairly uniquely differentiated within the dating landscape.

你知道，大部分的收入來自於他們的旗艦應用，笨笨本身，這在交友領域是相當獨特的差異化。

Um, it's focused on women and their experience, and I'm trying to avoid some of the toxicity that's associated with other dating APS.

嗯，它的重點是女性和他們的經驗， 我試圖避免一些毒性 與其他約會APS。

Um, and you know, promote a more equitable gender landscape.

The Blackstone backed company plans to raise upto $1.8 billion but there are some caveats.

這家由 Blackstone 支持的公司計劃籌集 18 億美元，但也有一些注意事項。

I think about the Echo is just that Ah, lot of the proceeds will be going to go Thio Blackstone, Um, I think they're going Thio be selling about 1.3 billion worth of shares back to the company is part of the offering.

我認為關於回聲只是，啊，很多的收益將去Thio Blackstone，嗯，我認為他們將Thio出售約13億價值的股份回公司是發行的一部分。

And there also were some preemptive distributions, as well as the tax receivable agreement that will provide payouts Thio to both Blackstone and the founder, Whitney Wolfe, heard in the future.

而且還有一些優先分配，以及應收稅款協議，將向黑石和創始人惠特尼-沃爾夫提供賠付Thio，聽說未來。

 So I think that's kind of the biggest negative for investors is generally speaking, you know you prefer not to see the pre echo investors taking a lot of cash out of the company was going public, but I don't think that will be enough of the sticking point to prevent the deal from doing well. 

所以，我認為這是一種最大的負面投資者是一般來說，你知道你更不希望看到呼應前的投資者採取了大量的現金從公司是上市，但我不認為這將是足以阻止交易做得很好的癥結所在。
