Bumble Inc.

Modern dating is messy. That’s exactly why we’re talking about it. We’re excited to launch Bee Line, Bumble’s new social-first YouTube series inviting real people to call in with their dilemmas, questions, and unfiltered experiences. Hosted by a rotating lineup of talent, Bee Line creates a space for entertaining and timely conversations about love, dating, relationships, and everything in between. The first episode drops today, featuring comedian, creator, and podcast host Jake Shane. New episodes will continue across YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram, connecting us with Gen Z and Millennial daters through the voices they know and trust. At Bumble, we believe meaningful conversations can spark meaningful connections, and Bee Line is designed to do just that. https://lnkd.in/g8r6jFDM #Bumble #BeeLine #DatingCulture #ModernDating #GenZ #Millennials #CreatorPartnerships #SocialFirst #BrandMarketing #Relationships

Today, Bumble is deepening the conversation around connection. We're launching With Love, a new Substack dedicated to thoughtful, honest conversations about dating, friendship, identity, and modern relationships. As audiences increasingly seek deeper, more trusted voices and spaces, With Love brings together creators, experts, and cultural commentators to explore connection through storytelling, lived experience, and expert opinions. We're kicking things off with Tinx, whose first essay explores why Gen Z's aversion to "cringe" may be getting in the way of meaningful connection. Subscribe to With Love to follow along and share your perspective on the power of human connection. 💛 https://lnkd.in/gRNRQQPh #substack #bumbleinc #withlove #realstories

A note from our founder 🐝

Dating today can feel complicated, but what if we’ve been looking at it the wrong way? Today, we’re proud to share new research from Bumble x Dr. Arthur Brooks, exploring why modern dating feels harder than ever and what actually leads to lasting love.  A few key insights: 1️⃣ Connection doesn’t happen online alone. Apps can spark introductions, but real bonds are built face-to-face, where our brain’s “love chemistry” fully comes to life. 2️⃣ We’ve over-indexed on compatibility. The strongest relationships aren’t about sameness, but complementarity, where differences create balance and growth. 3️⃣ Anxiety is shaping modern dating. Rising loneliness and social anxiety are making it harder to move from matching to meeting, especially for younger generations. We need to change that. The takeaway? Dating may be complex, but it’s far from impossible. With the right mindset, and a better understanding of the science, it becomes something we can approach with more clarity, confidence, and even joy. At Bumble, we’re committed to building products and experiences that help people move from matching and meeting to meaningful connection. Because falling in love - and staying in love - still matters.

We recently hosted a Tech & Tacos event at our Austin office, bringing together 25 engineers from across the local tech community for an evening of learning, conversation, and connection. And some really good food. 🌮 Huge thanks to our speakers, Oscar Padilla and Mario Antonetti, for leading engaging conversations on what’s shaping the future of mobile, AI, and large-scale systems: ➡️ Cross-platform technologies in the age of AI ➡️ Running ML on mobile and its impact on user experience ➡️ On-device AI capabilities and limitations ➡️ Building trust with users when leveraging AI ➡️ What still matters in mobile architecture as AI evolves From fresh tacos and churros to deep technical Q&A, the night was a reminder of something we’ve all been missing: engineers reconnecting face-to-face and sparking conversations that just don’t happen on Zoom. Events like these help us stay close to our community, share perspectives, and learn from one another as we build technology that people rely on every day. Thanks to everyone who joined us in Austin, we’re looking forward to the next one! If you’re excited about building at the intersection of mobile and AI, we're hiring across engineering and we’d love to hear from you. https://lnkd.in/eQsVRqa6 #Bumble #TechAndTacos #AustinTech #WomenInTech #MobileEngineering #AI #MachineLearning #TechCommunity #Hiring #EngineeringJobs

At Bumble, we show up for our people, celebrating their impact, championing their growth, and recognizing the talent that moves our business and our community forward. 💛 This week, we’re celebrating two incredible leaders on our team: 👏 Annie Thompson for being named to BizBash’s 2026 40 Under 40 list 👏 Rosanna Morby for being recognized in PRWeek UK’s 2026 Power Book, Top 10 in Social Media & Apps These honors spotlight leaders shaping the future of experiential, media, social, and how brands truly connect with people.

Beyond the work itself, they lead with something just as important: respect and a genuine commitment to our people and our members. We’re proud to recognize them both and lucky to have them leading the way 💫 #womenfirst #bumble #talent

We’re excited to welcome Chris Johnson to Bumble as our new SVP of AI and Data. 🐝 As we continue building a women-centric platform designed to create respectful and equitable connections, investing in world-class data and AI leadership is critical. Chris brings deep experience leading Data Science and Applied AI for large-scale consumer marketplaces, including building recommendation and matching systems that improve quality, trust, and long-term engagement. At Bumble, his work will help us further strengthen connection quality, power smarter product decisions, and create more meaningful experiences for our members — especially women, who remain at the center of everything we build. It’s an exciting time to be building at Bumble. We’re proud to continue attracting top talent who are passionate about using technology responsibly and thoughtfully to serve our community. Welcome to the Hive, Chris. 💛 #Bumble #AI #DataScience #Leadership

🏳️🌈 Last week, Bumble joined partners across platforms, civil society, and policymakers to sign the French Government Charter of Commitments for Digital Platforms for the Prevention of Violence and the Protection of LGBT+ People at the initiative of the Ministère chargé de l’Égalité 🇫🇷. This collective effort, alongside industry partners, sets a shared framework for action focused on prevention, reporting, content moderation, and stronger collaboration with law enforcement and advocacy organizations. We were grateful to have been able to participate in this collective effort, in the presence of Aurore Bergé, Minister for Equality between Women and Men and for the Fight against Discriminations, and Clara Chappaz, Ambassador for Digital and AI. And our own Morgane T. delivered a powerful speech on why this work matters. As a women-founded technology company, we are acutely aware of the harm people, especially women and marginalized communities, face online. That is why we aim to embed safety into every layer of our platform: through thoughtful policies, intentional product design, and trauma-informed support processes. We’re proud to stand with a broad coalition committed to addressing online harms and protecting LGBTQ+ communities. We have always believed that love is for everyone, and we live this everyday through our mission to bring people closer to love. But love cannot grow where people feel unseen, unheard, or unsafe for simply being who they are. This is an important step forward—and we know there’s more work ahead. 🙏Thank you to law enforcement, Ministère chargé de l’Égalité, DILCRAH - Délégation interministérielle à la lutte contre le racisme, l'antisémitisme et la haine anti-LGBT+ SOS homophobie STOP HOMOPHOBIE Fondation Le Refuge, Flag!
