Whitney Wolfe Herd co-founded Tinder, then left after a highly publicized dispute and founded Bumble in 2014 — the dating app where women make the first move — becoming the youngest female founder to take a company public when Bumble listed on NASDAQ in 2021 at age 31. Born in Salt Lake City in 1989, her experience with harassment led her to design Bumble's foundational rule: in heterosexual matches, only women can initiate conversation. Bumble expanded to friendship (Bumble BFF) and professional networking (Bumble Bizz), becoming one of the most culturally influential apps of the 2010s and a landmark achievement for women-founded technology companies.
