Which Shark Tank company developed a dating app founded by three sisters?

The story behind the answer

Coffee Meets Bagel is the dating app founded by three sisters: Arum, Dawoon, and Soo Kang.

The sisters launched the service in New York City in 2012. Its design initially emphasized curated daily matches rather than an unlimited stream of profiles, giving users a smaller set of suggested connections each day.

Coffee Meets Bagel appeared on Shark Tank in 2015. The founders famously declined Mark Cuban’s reported $30 million acquisition offer, choosing to continue operating the company independently. That moment became one of the program’s most discussed rejected offers.

The company’s name can cause confusion because “bagel” also appears in the food brand Bantam Bagels. Coffee Meets Bagel is a technology and dating company, not a food business.
