Aplicația de dating Bumble a fost cumpărată cu 1,3 miliarde de dolari. Noii proprietari spun că fac „un pariu pe viitorul umanității”

Bumble has been acquired for $1.3 billion by Ithaca Holdings, which aims to revitalize the dating app amid significant losses. Founders Ravi Gupta and John Hegeman will lead the company, while Whitney Wolfe Herd remains involved. The app recently dropped its unique feature requiring women to initiate conversations, sparking debate among users. Bumble has struggled financially since going public, reporting only one profitable year. The new owners plan to leverage technology, including AI, to enhance user experience and safety. The dating app industry faces challenges as younger users seek alternatives to online platforms.
