FORBES – Jul 13 – The cofounder of both Tinder and Bumble explains why failure can be "a huge propeller toward success." "I've experienced failure in almost every area of my life," said Wolfe. "If you've failed, you've had opportunity, and that's something to be grateful for … Failure's a marker of success in it's own right because you went out and tried something." At 7 million registered users in less than 2 years since its launch, Bumble empowers women to make the first move.

Why Women Should Make The First Move
BUSINESS INSIDER – June 30 – In a recent interview on the Girlboss Radio podcast, Whitney Wolfe discussed what motivated her to found Bumble, a dating app where only women can initiate the first move. On Match.com only ~18% of emails between straight women and straight men are initiated by women. In the most recent "Singles in America" survey, ~90% of men said they're comfortable with a woman asking them out. According to a recent OkCupid study, women who make the first move can wind up with more attractive partners than women who wait for men to ask them out. That's because women generally message men who are five points more attractive than they are, while they typically receive messages from men who are seven points less attractive.

Bumble: A Safe Dating App For Women
TELEGRAPH.CO.UK – Apr 16 – Since its launch at the end of 2014, Bumble has attracted 3.5M users – and is currently getting 25K new users a day. "I wanted to start a network that encouraged positive online behaviour versus bullying", says Whitney Wolfe, Bumble founder. On Bumble, a man can only message a woman a finite number of times before the app raises a red flag, asking her whether she's being harassed. The dating app has now introduced a new feature: Bumble BFF (best friends forever). This allows users to pinpoint prospective friends in their local area and meet up.
