Bumble Quote by Whitney Wolfe Herd
“After the launch of Bumble Date, users were starting to connect as friends, so we decided to launch BFF. When I was using BFF, I matched with someone who I then went on to hire at Bumble HQ. From there, I thought, why not create a platform for women to build business connections and advance their careers.”
