Looking for romance, a platonic friendship or professional opportunities? Bumble helps you find those connections in a way that challenges antiquated gender norms.

What we love: How Bumble puts a twist on tradition. When two people of different genders match, only people who identify as women can start the conversation. (If a match is between two people of the same gender, either can send the first message.) According to the company, over 60 per cent of male Bumble users say they joined because women make the first move.

Quick tip: Need help figuring out what to talk about on a virtual date? With the Night In feature, jump on a video call to play an interactive trivia game with your match.

Meet the creator: Whitney Wolfe Herd founded Bumble in 2014 to challenge the gender dynamics of dating and romance. So far, women have made billions of first moves in Bumble.
