Excited to get to work with Ravi and Whitney on something that matters so much in people's lives!

Today we announced an agreement to acquire Bumble.

Over the past six months, we’ve looked at hundreds of companies, asking which businesses would become more valuable as AI advances. 

Bumble stood out. 

As intelligence becomes more abundant, we believe connecting with the right person and forming meaningful relationships will become even more precious. And frontier technology can help more people find and build those relationships.

Our purpose at Ithaca is to apply frontier technology to things that matter. We acquire enduring businesses, transform them with technology, and hold for the long term. We focus on businesses not only for their financial potential but their ability to enrich lives.

Whitney and her team have built something extraordinary. Millions of relationships began on Bumble, and we’re honored to help take it into its next era. Together we intend to build the best company in the world for helping people find each other.

Let’s get to work.

Excited to have joined @ElectionScience's board of directors to support their mission of advancing voting methods that strengthen democracy. Today is an exciting milestone for this work as St. Louis becomes the second city (after Fargo) to hold an election using approval voting.
So many eyes are on St. Louis today! 🤩 It's an exciting day for approval voting, for voters, and for democracy.
