Coffee Meets Bagel
|
Coffee Meets Bagel (CMB) is a highly curated dating service where women call the final shot on who gets to talk to them among guys who expressed interest. We believe that the best dating experience is offered through a differentiated service for men and women. Globally, we have generated more than one million dates and thousands of lastingrelationships. We started Coffee Meets Bagel in 2012 because we wanted to inspire singles to feel good about dating again. Over the last 4 years, we came to realize that men and women have very different styles of dating and that the best dating experience for everyone is offered through a differentiated service for men and women. Hence the new way of servicing #LadiesChoice was born. Singles, especially single women, are becoming exhausted with the direction mobile dating is headed today. Dating has become an endless swipe of photos -- a place for ghosting and being ghosted. To us, that isn't really dating, that's a huge waste of time. With #LadiesChoice, we are giving women more control of their dating experience. We are enabling them to re-focus their time and energy on men who are serious about taking the next step. We are hoping to inspire all singles around the world to feel good about dating again. Welcome to Coffee Meets Bagel! | $600K / Seed / Sep 26, 2012 |
