BI: In 2012 you said you were unsure about an IPO. Has that changed?
AA: Badoo for me, is like a favourite child. Quite an old baby, though. Badoo is not just a standalone product. It's a massive machine, a factory of features with lots of extremely talented and dedicated people working on it.

An IPO for every company means the beginning of an end, when the structure becomes more co-operative and innovative projects are hard to pass through line managers.

Believe it or not, but after 11 years of Badoo it still feels like a startup. We are open to ideas from every single member of our team. We test, make mistakes and create new exciting products for Badoo. What's not to love? I think I'll stick to it for a little while.
