Bumble explores a potential sale with Morgan Stanley after its valuation drops 95% since its IPO

@signulll can we switch it back to the original mechanic?

@davemorin yes absolutely. i’ll share with you my doc on this, i’m curious to get your thoughts. it’s an iconic property that’s been severely mismanaged for a decade now.

@signulll dating apps are evil

@philipwalford blackstone owns the majority of the business.

@signulll I consulted at Badoo in London about 13 years ago. Utterly crazy company. Wonder how much of the casually threatening Russian-ness remains in Bumble.

@davemorin @muhizzle most women do not like it because it makes them feel masculine. it worked during me too & the girl boss era.

also in general the outcomes are all power law on the app (& all of these apps) which is a huge huge problem.

@bowtiedwhitebat @elonmusk damn elon can buy this just a hobby & have skin in the game to improve birth rates & relationships.

imagine how much goodwill that would generate.

@signulll We can buy it, rename it Allbirds and make not dogshit shoes

@signulll No thank youj

@signulll @muhizzle it is a different era, agentic dating will be a game changer. no one has done it yet.

@muhizzle @signulll what is the reason?

@davemorin @muhizzle there are so many interesting new mechanics & levers to pull. oh my god.

@DimitriNakis @signulll deodorant for feet bro we could be on a beach soon

@signulll @elonmusk @grok tell elon abou it. make no mistake

@signulll Serious bid?👀

@signulll Only if it becomes a dating app for agents. So much alpha there.

@signulll Yes. Let’s buy and flip to Musk to help arrange for settler couples in the starter colonies

@signulll Wait until http://match.com has the swarm

@signulll I guess I would love to be in this line with you legend, signüll is just so goated.

@signulll I can commit high 6 figs
