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. Annie and Rose do just that, every day. From bringing our brand to life through unforgettable, IRL experiences to helping us show up in culture with creativity and intention, their work reflects what Bumble is all about: connection and care. 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!

This Women’s History Month, we’re celebrating the women who lead, build, and inspire across Bumble Inc. Their leadership shapes our culture, our community, and the future we’re creating together. Here’s to the impact they make this month, and every month. 💛 #WomensHistoryMonth #BumbleInc

Today, Bumble Inc. announced two new features designed to help our members move from matching to meaningful connection, with more confidence and clarity. ✨AI-suggested Profile Guidance is rolling out globally, offering personalized, real-time feedback on bios and prompts to help members better reflect who they are as they build their profile. Thoughtful profiles drive better conversations, and the data shows it: nearly 60% of members with strong bios see higher engagement in mutual conversations, and women who use two to three prompts receive one-third more responses than those who use none. 💬 We’re also testing Suggest a Date in Canada, making it easier to signal date intent and help conversations move toward meeting in real life. Vivek Sagi, our Chief Product & Technology Officer at Bumble, says it best: “When we reduce friction at the moments that matter most, we make it easier for people to move from chatting to meeting and increase the likelihood of meaningful relationships forming offline.” We’re focused on building products that solve real member pain points, helping people show up as their authentic selves, communicate intentions openly, and build quality connections that translate into the real world. #Bumble #IRL #ProductInnovation #AI #DatingApps #TechForGood #BuildingConnections

Big news from Bumble 💛 Groups are now discoverable on BFF in the U.S. — a new way for people to discover interest-based communities, turn hobbies into friendships, and find real belonging beyond one-to-one matching. We’re especially excited to announce Jenna Bush Hager’s Thousand Voices Media Book Club is now a Group on BFF - a powerful example of how shared interests can spark lasting connections. This is an important step forward for BFF as we continue building tools that help our community find their people. #bff #friendship #communities #belonging #findyourpeople #bumble
