Ilana Kruger, founder and CEO of Dripkit, is one of many business owners who received funds from Bumble, in the form that was easiest for them, before they were able to secure government relief funding.
“We were overwhelmed and extremely humbled to see the sheer number of people who applied to the community grant program. The economic impact that this pandemic has caused was undeniable,” said Bumble COO Sarah Jones Simmer. Certainly, the applications—which stemmed from businesses all over the world and detailed a wide range of direct impacts as a result of the coronavirus—were varied but had a common thread throughout: selflessness.
“We have a COVID-19 task force that worked to get the team set up to work effectively from home. On one of the calls when we were discussing the work from home stipend , a few members flagged that they’d seen friends, family, and their favorite small businesses struggling, and felt like they’d rather find a way to distribute their stipend to those with more urgent needs.

But it may turn out this is one of those cases where the cure is worse than the disease. Fortunately, we will soon begin human clinical trials on other possible treatments, such as jumping off bridges and ingesting huge handfuls of tranquilizers.” In his most recent press briefing, President Trump dismissed the new findings and said Americans had “nothing to lose” if they wanted to use shotguns as a preventative measure.
