Wolfe runs Bumble from Austin and says she hasn’t attended one of Badoo’s parties. But the two teams work well together, she says; Andreev helped her develop Bumble and is set to be a groomsman at her upcoming wedding. “I’ve never actually myself attended a Badoo party, but a lot of my employees have,” Wolfe says. “They’ve never once said anything apart from how great it is. I can say, unequivocally, I would not be working for a frat house.”
As Badoo was gearing up for a recent Too Funky Friday, the Bumble team was planning a separate event. A main attraction at the Winter Bumbleland Party at the Coachella music festival in April featured a garden where guests could make snow angels. One of Bumble’s tag lines reads: “Misogyny isn’t welcome here.”
