Biography
- Russian entrepreneur Andrey Andreev has built five online dating sites and apps since 2004: Mamba, Badoo, Bumble, Chappy and Lumen.
- His most successful app in the U.S. by far is Bumble, cofounded with Whitney Wolfe Herd, which only allows female users to make the first reach-out.
- In 2019, Andreev sold his majority stake in Bumble and Badoo to Blackstone Group in a deal that valued the sites at $3 billion.
- In 2020, Andreev launched Stereo, an audio-only social media platform that competes with Clubhouse, another audio app.
- Andreev got his start in the 1990s building and selling several startups including SpyLog, which tracked visitors to websites.
- As a weekend hobby, Andreev would sometimes cook alongside head chef Olivier Limousin at two-Michelin-star London restaurant L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon.
