Coffee Meets Bagel is a San Francisco–based dating and social networking service created by three sisters: Arum, Dawoon, and Soo Kang. The app was launched in New York City on April 17, 2012. Unique features of the Coffee Meets Bagel app include limiting the number of profiles users can interact with each day and offering ice-breaker information for matches. In 2020, Coffee Meets Bagel added video virtual speed dating in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In September 2012, the sisters raised seed funding of $600,000 led by Lightbank, with Match.com co-founder Peng T. Ong also investing. In February 2015, they announced a $7.8 million Series A financing round led by existing investor DCM Ventures. In May 2018, the company raised $12 million in Series B funding led by Atami Capital.
