Networking is awkward at the best of times. You enter a room full of people you don't know, to have the same conversation over and over and over again, until you hopefully, eventually find the perfect business partner.

The dating world used to be founded on the same awkward small talk, just with a different, ultimate intention. But in recent years, apps have changed the landscape of dating, making it both easier and quicker to find your ideal match. 

And now, everyone's favourite dating app, Bumble, has created a solution: Bumble Bizz. Set up by one of the co-founders of Tinder, Bumble is the dating app that empowers women, allowing them to make the first move. The brains behind the app, Whitney Wolfe, not content with shaking up one sphere, is turning her hand to revolutionising the networking scene as well.

Last year saw the launch of Bumble BFF, helping users to make platonic friends with the same interests. Bumble Bizz takes this technology and moves it into the professional networking space. And, just as Bumble tackles the sexism that is often rife in dating, so too does the app's latest iteration allow women to make the first, professional move.

Bumble Bizz allows people, namely women, to network whenever they want and with whoever they want. The app is designed to create opportunities for users that they would not have necessarily found otherwise. It is a networking tool for modern life: easy, efficient and, most importantly, living on our smart phones.
