In a world where online dating is becoming more and more common, it’s hard to imagine a time when Tinder didn’t exist. But believe it or not, the hugely popular dating app that was founded in 2012 is the mastermind of an amazing woman, Whitney Wolfe.

Her story somewhat resembles that of Steve Jobs. Because at one point she too found herself with nothing in hand and ousted from her successful company.

She had to reinvent himself and take revenge as Jobs did with Pixar.

It seemed she had no future and no career prospects, but Whitney Wolfe has become one of the most powerful digital entrepreneurs thanks to Bumble.

This rebirth of her was thanks to something special that she will tell you about later. A characteristic that we all have that must be brought out by us.

“Those were very hard times. I no longer saw a career for myself. I was 24, I had found one of the most famous tech startups, but the Internet hated me. So I woke up one day and said to myself: now it’s time to rebuild myself.”

These are her words before emerging from the mud …

HER BRILLIANCE ALREADY WITH TINDER

Whitney Wolfe was born in July 1989 in Salt Lake City, Utah.

After studying at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, Wolfe began her career in the tech industry working for dating apps like Hinge and JSwipe.

When Whitney is only 22, she approaches Hatch Labs incubator. She meets Sean Rad, who explains his idea of ​​building an application that will improve customer service for businesses. Cardify is a project in which Whitney works for Rad.

Despite their strong convictions, the facts speak for another story. The business fails to achieve acceptable levels of success. They decide to explore other options.
