Announcing a reset before the fact is like two resets if you have significant capacity remaining.
Ultrafast!
If this is mainly a long bet on the increasing value of relationships to provide meaning as work becomes a less dependable source, I love it.
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.

Great feature. I see why it was popular internally.
I find that it suggests some smart additional actions to take during tasks that I might have skipped over otherwise.
My MacBook Pro (2021 M1 64Gb) is a bit long in the tooth. It might be my last new Mac. Giving Omarchy a new go to see if it’s time. It’s going where I’m going. Not sure Apple is.
