Whitney Wolfe Herd rose to prominence as a co-founder of Tinder. Later, as the founder and CEO of Bumble, she became one of the youngest women to take a company public. Her company, Bumble, is headquartered in Cupertino, California.
Wolfe Herd created Bumble with a mission to improve the online dating experience for women. She aimed to protect women from the same experiences she encountered in the online dating world. However, legal issues and NDAs prevented the filmmakers from working with Whitney Houston directly.
