At the age of 23 Whitney Wolfe Herd  founded Tinder with  co-founder Justin Mateen, who she was dating .

When they broke up, he threatened, insulted and made her life a misery  and she was  forced to leave.


In 2014 she sued the company for sexual harassment and began receiving death and rape threats on social media causing  her severe panic attacks, blocking her in the house. That’s when she founded Bumble, a dating app where women make the first move.





Bumble is now the second most popular dating app in the USA and a few weeks ago listed on the stock exchange: its valuation reached 14 billion - and at 31 Whitney Wolfe Herd is a Billionnaire! ðŸ’¥
