Headquartered in Austin, Texas, Bumble was founded in 2014 by Whitney Wolfe Herd, the co-founder of Tinder, with the help of Andrey Andreev, the founder of Badoo. They were later joined by former Tinder employees Sarah Mick and Chris Gulczynski who helped design the interface and launch the app.
Since its launch, the company has been steadily growing. In 2016, Bumble released ‘BFF’ mode in addition to its ‘Date’ mode to allow users to find friends.

In 2020, Bumble replaced MagicLab as the parent company of both Bumble and Badoo.
