Queen Bee Whitney Wolfe Demonstrates United States Around Bumble’s Brand-new Headquarters in Austin, Tx
Bumble’s latest head office in Austin, Tx, were a long way off from the typically sparse technology business organizations present Silicon Valley. But which was just what Whitney Wolfe, the 27-year-old CEO on the female-first relationship software, is wanting to would.
“We have embraced the type of feminine design that the majority of tech spaces steer clear of,” says Wolfe, a feminist entrepreneur whose evocative lady-friendly headquarters includes a glam room with a hair washing station for professional blowouts (Wolfe’s idea) and a bar with beer and cold-brew coffee on tap. The new offices replace the crowded two-bedroom apartment where Bumble started—from 100,000 users in 2014 to more than 18 million today—and employees took calls in closets serving as “conference rooms.”
