Bumble

Bumble is a social networking platform that combines dating, friend-finding, and professional networking into a single app. Founded in 2014 by Whitney Wolfe Herd and based in Austin, Texas, Bumble emphasizes equitable and healthy relationships, allowing users to connect based on their interests. In heterosexual matches, only female users can initiate contact with male matches, while same-sex matches permit either party to reach out first. Users can sign up via their phone number or Facebook profile and can choose to search for romantic partners, friends in "BFF mode," or professional connections through Bumble Bizz. The platform also operates another app, Badoo, which facilitates connections among users globally, further expanding its reach in the online dating market.
