43 mins

Episode Description

It’s 2014 and twenty-four-year-old Whitney Wolfe sues Tinder for harassment, sending shockwaves through Silicon Valley. She walks away with a settlement but pays a high personal price for taking on the “boy’s club” culture in tech. That leads Wolfe to launch Bumble, an app with a radical feature — women make the first move. Bumble attracts millions of users and has a blockbuster IPO. But as the Bumble “Hive” grows, the pressure to scale takes its toll, and onlookers wonder: Can Bumble survive without its Queen Bee?
