Saks helps to empower women through how they look and feel - and Bumble wants to give all women a platform to connect with other empowered women, whether that's in dating, friendship, or business.

I truly believe that what we're seeing with online dating is very similar to what happened with the Myspace-Facebook era, where Myspace was once this place for online connecting for a very select group of young people. And then Facebook kind of hit at this moment where it was acceptable for everybody to do it.

Whitney Wolfe Herd

I was tired of a system where women waited around for men to send them a message or ask them out. With Bumble - first a dating app, now a social network that helps you make empowering connections in love, life, and business - women had to make the first move, or the match was void.

Whitney Wolfe Herd

I personally have always hated dating. I was never vulnerable or insecure in any part of my life, but I would become that way with a guy because they have control, according to society, when it comes to dating.

Whitney Wolfe Herd

Everyone in the dating business wants to know what women want - it's the billion-dollar question. But it's simple: put one in charge, and you find out.

Whitney Wolfe Herd

When I first got started in this whole world of online connecting, we were combating this antiquated stereotype of who used online dating, and we really set out to make it popular with millennials. What I find to be so fascinating now is, I'm seeing an inverse in that trend.

Whitney Wolfe Herd

When I left Tinder, I had no intention of getting back into the dating industry. What I ultimately wanted to do was start this contagious complimentary social network, where kindness was at the helm.

Whitney Wolfe Herd

There's nothing wrong with taking yourself out of the dating pool. You don't need to be in a relationship because that's what society expects of you or because your grandmother thinks you need to be married by a certain date. Those days are over. Instead, take a step back and say, 'I'm OK alone.'

When you're setting up your dating profile, choose the photos according to who you are today. A variety of recent shots that are a true representation of your character.

Whitney Wolfe Herd

I run a dating site, but I will gladly tell someone, 'Do not date someone if it's not right.' And don't settle. This settling thing is insane. I've literally had to force friends out of relationships because they want to be married by a certain age, so they just date these guys that are not right for them.

Whitney Wolfe Herd

I've thought long and hard about this, and I think a lot of the dysfunction around dating has to do with men having the control.

Whitney Wolfe Herd

I always felt that, for me, as a woman, I always had to wait around. In all other arenas, I was ambitious and a go-getter, but when it came to dating, I wasn't supposed to go after what I wanted.

Whitney Wolfe Herd

Are we solving the world's problems by allowing women to make the first move on a dating app? No. But I do believe we are helping to change some very archaic norms.

Whitney Wolfe Herd

I think we are the first feminist or first attempt at a feminist dating app.

Whitney Wolfe Herd

There were dozens of dating apps when Bumble came on the scene, but they weren't able to attract critical mass in a young professional group.

Whitney Wolfe Herd

Have a dream, chase it down, jump over every single hurdle, and run through fire and ice to get there.

Whitney Wolfe Herd

As long as you know that you're doing the right thing, do not care about what other people think about you.

Whitney Wolfe Herd

Don't let something hurtful in your past hold you back from what you want to do. Be brave.

Whitney Wolfe Herd

Feminism is not about girl power. It is about equal power.
