FAST COMPANY – Aug 29 – Bumble, the feminist dating app, is adding ~50k new users per day, and is on track to take in ~$150M in revenue in 2018. (~10% of its active users pay ~$9.99 per month for premium features). Whitney Wolfe, Bumble's CEO, is launching BumbleBizz in early October. On BumbleBizz, users can look for work, find a business partner, or hire new talent. The original dating service will be rebranded as Bumble Honey. This fall, Bumble is launching a targeted national ad campaign, geared toward women and men of varying ages, that will promote the idea that just one connection can transform your professional life. Bizz will debut with verified brand partners such as Postmates and Outdoor Voices.
