Bumble founder Whitney Wolfe Herd, who became a billionaire this week after launching the company’s IPO success, remains among the buzz.
In an internal Slack sent to staff and seen by Page Six, Herd congratulated his team and urged them to remain “humble, kind and collaborative.”
“Don’t look at stocks, watch customer feedback and growth,” wrote Herd, 31, the youngest CEO to make a company public. “Pay attention to success stories and customer complaints … We are not perfect, but every day is an opportunity to improve. We remain humble, kind and collaborative. Tomorrow’s success is not promised, and it is our character and our values that will keep us united during the ups and downs of the future ”.
Herd also reiterated his commitment to “putting inclusion, diversity and equality at the forefront of our priorities.”
“We will do the right thing and lead with our values,” he wrote. “Remember, we’re all in this together: let’s communicate and take care of each other.”
Bumble is the dating app that allows you to monitor women as it allows them to make the first move. It was valued at $ 8.7 billion on Friday after the company’s shares rose 63% to $ 70.31 after its market debut on Thursday.
