Founder story
Everyone deserves a chance at real, lasting love.

When my sisters and I were living in NYC, one thing was clear: online dating was a mess. Singles needed an app that was less about casual dates, and more about finding a lasting, serious relationship. And so in 2012, Coffee Meets Bagel was born.
After a few twists and turns, like rejecting a record-setting offer on “Shark Tank,” we realized if we were going to change the dating space, we would have to do it our own way.
And over a decade later, we’ve done just that by cultivating the dating app with the highest number of serious-relationship seekers. That way, you can stop wasting time on the wrong people, and finally get your real chance at love.
