What is Coffee Meets Bagel?

Coffee Meets Bagel is an online dating platform designed to help singles make meaningful connections. Launched in April 2012 by three entrepreneurial sisters, Arum, Dawoon, and Soo Kang, the app serves as an alternative to the swiping model of other popular dating services. Coffee Meets Bagel differentiates itself by leveraging a smart algorithm that curates quality matches for users each day at noon, which are known as "bagels." This approach encourages thoughtful consideration of potential partners and aims to create a more efficient and pleasant dating experience focused on deeper interactions rather than an endless cycle of profile browsing.
