Cuban’s investment — and the tens of thousands of new downloads Alper told Mashabletheir Shark Tankappearance resulted in — isn’t the only win the fledgling dating app has scored lately.
Sweet Capital, an investment fund founded by the executives behind Candy Crush, put $500,000 into Hater this summer. Alper said this backing was crucial in helping them launch the Android version, which debuted just three days ago.
Alper said the focus is now "on being available for everyone, not just single people in big cities." He added, “As a dating app, we’ve always wanted to be the most fun.” That means pushing deeper into the social space and adding gaming elements so people have other ways to interact, instead of just looking for dates.

It's him.
