Inc42 reports that Peak XV Partners, Shine Capital and Blume Ventures led Rivet’s $10.5 million seed round. The startup plans to use the money to build its product, expand distribution and scale across the US. Its community-driven “social matching” model uses recommendations from users to help identify potential pairs, while leaving both individuals to decide whether to connect. Inc42 also names former Tinder and OkCupid CEO Elie Seidman as an early investor.
