In his book, The Art of Loving, Philosopher Erich Fromm wrote, “There is hardly any activity, any enterprise, which is started with such tremendous hopes and expectations, and yet, which fails so regularly, as love.” This is especially true in modern love and dating. We have never had so many options to find love, and yet have never been so lost in knowing how to cultivate it. Too often we jump into dating without actually having any knowledge around what it is that we want. We jump in expecting that if it's the right love, It will be effortless. But the truth is just like anything else worth pursuing, finding and creating a lasting love requires work, effort, and commitment. If we want to find the best person for us, we need to first commit to being the best version of ourselves. The energy we put out, is the energy we will attract. Dawoon Kang is the Co-founder and CEO of Coffee Meets Bagel, a dating app that prides itself on helping users create meaningful connections.

Coffee Meets Bagel was birthed from a need. Dawoon Kang and her two sisters knew all too well the struggles of finding a life partner in New York City, which is why they set out to create an app that was focused on fostering meaningful human connections—Coffee, for the perfect first date, and Bagel, as an ode to NYC. I can’t help but admire Dawoon for her sharp wit and keen sense of self. It’s obvious from our conversation that her killer instincts come from not only experience, but also from a deep understanding of who she is as a woman, a sister, a daughter, and an entrepreneur. She’s a wealth of knowledge when it comes to building a thriving app in an all too cluttered environment, and is a master at cultivating genuine and meaningful interpersonal engagements through technology.

My co-host Dawoon Kang and her sisters famously refused Mark Cuban's 30M offer for their dating app, Coffee Meets Bagel. Now she's on the show for a frank discussion about the differences between how men and women date...much of it based on her company's own market research. Personally, I think their app should have been called "Beer Meets Pretzels", but as it turns out there's a strategic reason why that wouldn't have been the best plan. In this show you'll discover what "high quality" means to both men and women...based on survey results. Plus, you'll hear their genius solution to ghosting, along with the 100% ninja way they actually make their woman-friendly app more GUY friendly by removing the single biggest bane of every man's online dating existence. In fact, they actually HELP us as guys solve another major area of online dating that usually leaves us twisting in the wind. Oh, and just for good measure, Dawoon's shocking take on hook-up culture will NOT be what you expect to hear. Fair warning: You'll have to get used to Dawoon referring to human beings in terms typically reserved for breakfast items, but hey...that's branding. Need coaching?

Today we have a chat with one of the co-founders of the innovative sister led dating app Coffee Meets Bagel.    Dawoon Kang and her two sisters Arum and Soo, founded Coffee Meets Bagel as an answer to many of the prevailing male centric, image overloaded apps that weren’t addressing the unique ways in which women prefer to date. Dawoon and her sisters became famous last year for rejecting the largest offer ever made on the popular TV show Shark Tank after they turned down Mark Cuban's $30M offer for their company.    They then went on to raise $7.8M in Series A financing, and with that funding began their international expansion outside the US with Hong Kong as their first overseas market. Prior to CMB, Dawoon lived & worked in Korea, Japan, New York, India & Hong Kong, in a variety of roles that spanned from strategy & business development, marketing, research to investing/finance.    Lets listen into Dawoon interviewed by our Hong Kong chapter director Joshua Steimle.
