1. I actually don’t think about Tinder.
2. I truly believe that what we’re seeing with online dating is very similar to what happened with the Myspace-Facebook era, where Myspace was once this place for online connecting for a very select group of young people. And then Facebook kind of hit at this moment where it was acceptable for everybody to do it.
3. I’m the most fortunate woman in the world — I have a platform, which doesn’t just reach 10 people.
4. Everyone deals with trauma differently, and recovery is always a work in progress. But courage is contagious, and the more that people stand up and speak out against misogyny, the faster we can create the kind of world where we won’t have to.
5. Have a dream, chase it down, jump over every single hurdle, and run through fire and ice to get there.
6. Now, women are expected to be equal to men in so many capacities — financially, career-wise, in education — yet the one disconnect was, and is, with relationships.
7. My goal is not to overtake Tinder or compete with Tinder. To be fully honest with you, I think Tinder is a great product. It’s still my baby at the end of the day. So I wish it continued success. I still have equity in Tinder.
8. Love, friendship, networking — these are all critical connections and the foundation of a healthy, happy life.
9. We applaud any company making business decisions that empower women.
10. Amassing a user base is a lot harder than one might think.
11. Bumble is a connecting company. It’s your place to find connections, whatever that may be.
12. I have been sexist before. I have called girls names. I have gone with the misogynist flow.
13. As long as you know that you’re doing the right thing, do not care about what other people think about you.
14. Anyone can replicate a product. There are lots of brilliant minds out there that know how to code, but there’s unique DNA to a brand. You cannot have a brand without people. That is the most important asset you will ever have.
15. I think it’s smart to always keep an eye on the companies that sit within incubator communities, which bring together the skills and expertise needed to grow an enterprise.
16. I knew I was ambitious; I knew I was passionate and that I wanted to change the world in some shape or form, but I had no idea what that might look like.
17. I’m going to be honest. Up until I started work on Bumble, the ‘f-word’ scared me. People would ask me if I was a feminist, and I didn’t know how to respond. The word seemed to put guys off, but now I realise, who cares?
18. I remember, when we were starting Tinder, we were like, ‘We’re going to be the next Instagram!’ I remember sending my parents emails being like, ‘We got 300 members!’
19. I think so many women allow themselves to be defined by somebody else’s narrative.
20. I don’t know why the leaders of social networks have overlooked the idea of rules. Real-life behavior is becoming more reflective of social media instead of vice versa, and that’s a dangerous thing.
