Be alerted, be informed Bumble is backed by Badoo (80%, majority-owned by Badoo)

Badoo is in big war with Tinder (Match Group)

When Match Group (fka IAC Personals) bought OKCupid (7 years ago) for an astronomical amount of money, the OKCupid team had the task to copycat Badoo, but they failed in that mission.
