Founder Story:

The dream of the three sisters’(Arum Kang, Soo Kang, Dawoon Kang) father was to give them the best education has to offer. They achieved their degrees from Harvard, Stanford, and Pearson’s school of design. They started their careers and then soon started discussing dating and the fact that they could not find what they were looking for that is when they decided to start Coffee meets Bagel.

Did Coffee meets Bagel get a deal on SharkTank?

The trio entered SharkTank and was seeking an investment of $500,000 for 4%. The concept was believable and a true and tried concept. The app works in a proper and straightforward way. You have 24 hours to make the decision of whether to accept or reject the person displayed by reading and understanding the person’s personality.

Women do not join other dating apps as they know that there are filthy messages that they will be bombarded with. In the case of Coffee meets Bagel eliminates this problem, therefore becoming a favorite among women today. They have 100,000 to 500,000 monthly users. Annual revenue was $87,000 for the last year and $270,000 for the five months. They project $1 million this year, and $10 million the next year. The cost of customer acquisition is 0.30.

Mark becomes out as he thinks the sisters should disclose the no. of monthly users. They pay themselves $100,000 out of the annual revenue, therefore for the three of them, they were paying $300,000. Kevin says that I don’t do 5% deals because they do not value my skill, therefore he was out. Lori is next, she thinks that the sisters are earning high from the enterprise and that they are stealing ideas and business models therefore she is out.

Barbara is interested in the concept and believes that the sisters should have a place in the market because it makes sense for women to be more than just a piece of meat. She sees the business will give her less reward for her investment, she’s out. Mark is left and asks the sisters whether they would take $30 million for their company if he offered them so. They reply with an empathetic no. The sisters boldly leave the stage.
