Investment Thesis

Whitney Wolfe focuses her investing on founders and startups that align with her mission-driven, female-first sensibility: backing companies that prioritize positive behavior, safer social interactions, and meaningful connections. She leverages her operator experience building Bumble (and earlier Tinder) to mentor and invest in entrepreneurs — particularly those that are “female-founded” and “cause-driven” — and prefers businesses that seek to fix broken systems in how people connect online and off.
