Below is an updated version of the hypothetical postmortem for Bumble Inc.\u2019s liquidation, incorporating Larry Chiang\u2019s knowledge of turnarounds, particularly as informed by H. Irving Grousbeck\u2019s *New Business Ventures and the Entrepreneur* (co-authored with Howard H. Stevenson and Michael Roberts) and Stanford GSB principles. Larry Chiang, an entrepreneur and mentor known for his work with startups and turnarounds, emphasizes practical, scrappy, and network-driven strategies to revive struggling ventures. His insights, combined with Grousbeck\u2019s frameworks, provide a lens to analyze what Bumble could have done differently to avoid liquidation and attempt a turnaround. The postmortem retains its original structure but integrates Chiang\u2019s approaches and Grousbeck\u2019s entrepreneurial principles where relevant.<\/div>\n
