Hello. We’re The Love Company.
We believe love—in all its forms—is the foundation to a happy, healthy life.
In 2014, we rewrote the dating rules.
The result? A member-first platform built to create kind, healthy connections.

We started with one bold move. Today, we’re building the most trusted and effective place to find love.

Whitney Wolfe Herd
Whitney Wolfe Herd founded Bumble with one goal: to build the most trusted space to find love, where women make the first move, and connection is rooted in respect.As CEO, she still leads with the same belief: that finding love online should feel intentional, safe, and authentic. Bumble is about more than dating. It’s about helping people find what matters, with care, intention, and heart. That means using technology and AI to deepen human connection, not replace it. We’re using everything we’ve learned: the good, the imperfect and the honest, so that our entire community continues to feel welcome on Bumble.
