       Registration Statement on Form S-1

       General

   1.                                                   We note that you have
added disclosure indicating that Ms. Wolfe Herd, Blackstone and
                                                        Accel will have
outsized Class A and Class B common stock voting rights as compared to
                                                        other holders of your
Class A and Class B common stock. Please revise to:

                                                              Briefly and
clearly explain the purpose of these outsized voting rights on the cover
                                                            page;

                                                              Identify each
Principal Stockholder on the cover page and disclose each Principal
                                                            Stockholder's
expected post-IPO economic ownership and voting control
                                                            percentages;

                Describe any other material effects or risks, whether intended
or not, of the outsized
              voting rights. For example, if the outsized voting rights will
enable the Principal
              Stockholders to more easily engage in hedging or other similar
types of transactions
              than other holders of your Class A and Class B common stock,
please revise to
              discuss this;

                Clarify the circumstances under which the voting power of the
Principal Stockholders
              may increase after the IPO. For example, clarify whether shares
of Class A common
              stock purchased or otherwise acquired by the Principal
Stockholders after the IPO
              would have these outsized voting rights and whether additional
common units of
              Bumble Holdings issued to the Principal Stockholders after the
IPO would result in
              additional outsized voting rights; and

                Clarify whether the transfer or sale of shares of Class A or
Class B common stock or
              common units of Bumble Holdings by a Principal Stockholder will
terminate the
              outsized voting rights or whether these outsized voting rights
are transferable to other
              holders.

         Additionally, please supplementally provide:

                A legal opinion that opines on the legality of this voting
structure under Delaware
              law and ensure that it include citations to the specific
authority relied upon;

                A form of your governing documents that describes the outsized
Class A and Class B
              voting rights; and

                Confirmation that Nasdaq has affirmatively stated that your
disparate Class
              A voting structure is consistent with its listing standards,
including Nasdaq Rule
              5640.

         Please note that we may have additional comments when information in
your filing is
         filled in and upon review of your response.
Cover Page

2.       Disclosure indicates that you will be a "controlled company" and that
you will disclose the
         percentage of combined voting power of your Class A and Class B common
stock
         controlled by Ms. Wolfe Herd, Blackstone and Accel. As it appears that
Blackstone will
         control substantially more than 50% of your voting power, please
revise the cover page to
         also separately disclose Blackstone's voting power percentage.
Additionally, you disclose
         on page 19 that as a "controlled company" you intend to rely on
exemptions from certain
         corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq and you describe certain
of these
         exemptions in a risk factor on page 59. Please revise the risk factor
or elsewhere to

       identify which exemptions you intend to rely on.

3.     Tell us whether the Principal Stockholders' voting and economic
interests in Bumble
       Holdings prior to the IPO equal the voting and economic interests in the
Company
       immediately following the IPO. In addition, to better understand the
purpose of your
       capital structure, tell us why Principal Stockholders will receive Class
A common stock
       with different voting rights instead of Class B shares with greater
voting interests than the
       other holders of the common units.
        We remind you that the company and its management are responsible for
the accuracy
and adequacy of their disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, action
or absence of
action by the staff.

       Refer to Rules 460 and 461 regarding requests for acceleration. Please
allow adequate
time for us to review any amendment prior to the requested effective date of
the registration
statement.
