Winner

Bumble! Sure, both companies have some explaining to do about how they treat neighbors, but even though Herd, um, borrowed the interface of her former employer, she made it her own and helped women take control of dating. After a feisty response to Match Group’s lawsuit—an advertisement in national newspapers that said, “We’ll never be yours”—Bumble countersued Match for $400 million for stealing trade secrets during acquisition talks.
