Coffee Meets Bagel is a San Francisco–based dating and social networking website.[1]
History
Coffee Meets Bagel was created by three sisters: Arum, Dawoon, and Soo Kang.[2] The site was launched in New York City on April 17, 2012.[3]
On May 10, 2012, Coffee Meets Bagel launched in Boston.[4] On October 24, 2012, the app launched in San Francisco .[5]
In 2015, Coffee Meets Bagel was featured on Shark Tank. Mark Cuban, hypothetically, because he was already out, offered them $30 million to purchase the entire company but they declined.[6]
In May 2018, the company raised $12 million in Series B funding.[7]
Features
The app differs from other dating apps by limiting the number of profiles users can interact with each day and offering unique ice-breaker information for matches.[8][9]
Coffee Meets Bagel looks at each user's Facebook account to help identify potential matches. A user is exposed to at least one match per day, but can only contact their matches if they "Like" them and their matches "Like" them back.[10][11]
