@@cheery-hex Nah if you are actually passionate and serious about starting a business you would understand that giving yourself a smaller salary while your business is growing is the much smarter thing to do. The salary will come when your business is succesful and making profit. Not when it's still bleeding millions a year. But I agree their idea is pretty good. Glad it worked out for them, even though I disagree with how much salary they took
Yeah great test. He pretty much asked to see if these Kang Sisters cared about money. They have dad backing every last thing they ever do so they don't need to worry.
Marks stated multiple times that this was never an offer but a hypothetical question. They're doing very well today so good on them for what they achieved
He did say that he was just asking a question. Which apparently the sisters missed. Because, they went out and said that "Mark Cuban offered them 30 mil for the company". Understandably so, why Mark still has a sting to this. No way he was going to offer the Kang sisters 30 mil.
Based on what? Online dating is a FAD, and no one can tell me that this website brings in traffic like E-Harmony, or Bumble. Most people get dates through social networking, not online dating. that's a FACT.
@@plan-bsmoothies2430 so would have been a 7x return if they weren't diluted in future rounds? And this is 8 years ago. With no dilution, great deal if a shark took it, but if they'd have been diluted, the return might not be there. Even then that's about a 40% annualized return, given the risk of a tank deal...still not a massive win best case.
@@plan-bsmoothies2430 That is wrong. Valued at $150 million by a random attorney doesn't mean the company is worth that money. Many companies usually do it to make fame in turn to attract attention.
They never had a 30 milion offer, he asked "IF I offered you...", that wasn't an offer, it was a hypothetical question. If he wanted to buy it, he would just say that he will pay xyz mil for a whole company. This title is just generating more clicks. To be clear, I don't think they'd sell it anyways because they already drew big investmenets according to what they said and they had large growth, but I think she still understood this is not an actual offer.
net worth doesn't mean a thing. it's worthless. but having 30 mil in your bank account means something. Even though it was not an offer, I would've taken the 30 mil and started 3 more companies...
How do you know it would not be worth ten billion with proper financing and experience? Just throwing that out there. Depends on what you will do for money, I guess. Being ultra rich is a choice, I think it looks complicated.
So dating apps truly helps you find a “wife” “husband”? I’m 24 and never gave those apps a chance because i thought “dating apps” were useless and lame…. Mhmm something to think about
It's a terrible product though. Messages aren't real time. You'll be like, "what is she talking about" and then 5-10 minutes later previous messages will show up. Chats will disappear and reappear. The app hangs about 33% of the time. Search never finds anyone. Even if you filter for everyone under 35. Frankly, I would never hire a developer who worked at CMB. They can't even get the basic functions to work correctly. Good ideas, like being able to how long it takes someone to reply so you know if they're active/serious, but the execution is poor.

They've peaked at 3 million active users in 2023. Their shares are completely diluted after raising $31 million from VC. Newer apps like Bumble have overtaken them completely in terms of users. This episode was filmed around 2015. They were claiming getting 4 million new users in 2015. Not too bad though. They've milked a lot of salary from the company since then and the money they are losing is VC money.
@@jgs_gamestudio9096 not necessarily. It's probably like spending 100 million to get 150 million. When they finally burn all the money, it'll probably just collapse, unless they can continue to gather new investment.

Well done, ladies, and congratulations. I’m here to tell you it works. My son and future daughter-in-law met on Coffee Meets Bagel, and they will be getting married later this year.❤
$100k is not a lot of money in the Bay Area. thats about $6k a month after taxes. a small studio rents for $2.5k. In San Francisco expect to pay $4-5k for a studio.
@@tune2gr3is82 You can get an apartment. I'm sure everyone that lives in SF isn't pulling down multiple six figures a year. The whole SF is super expensive thing is oversold.
Total Coffee Meets Bagel mobile app revenue in October 2022 was $1m, including $700k for iOS apps and $300k for Android apps. Total mobile app downloads for Coffee Meets Bagel was 200k, including 100k iOS app downloads and 60k Android app downloads. Coffee Meets Bagel has a total of 4 apps, including 2 iOS apps, and 2 Android apps. Their top grossing app last month was Coffee Meets Bagel Dating App and their most downloaded app was Coffee Meets Bagel Dating App.
Yeah true. But you never know the future it may have gone the other way so it was a bet that paid off. Maybe they shouda said if you offer 60 mil we will take it
Their site is worth $150 mil, they (the sisters) are not. They still had to raise capital after appearing on ST and received around $23 million from various investors shortly after ST. But they do still have a share of the company instead of taking $30 mil but no shares.
At 8:30 Cuban is having an epiphany…. Meditative talk with his universal gods getting that feeling he gets when he understands there is an opportunity and he’s going to take at and go all in.
This ep shows how out of touch the Sharks were with the tech industry at the time, with the exception of Mark and Robert. $100k in SF was entry-level salary, having that strong of a CAC/LTV ratio was fantastic (although would def get worse later), and the correct play was absolutely to throw money in and grow to get market share rather than growing low/slow, dating apps are all about users. The biggest risk wasn't copycats, it was their 100% reliance on Facebook. Still not sure it was a GREAT deal at $10m but the questions were way off base imo
@@v1n3ger43you're right that not a lot of people make $100k annually in general. However, $100k is a fair salary in comparison to what they could earn working for a tech company instead of being entrepreneurs. They deserved to pay themselves that much.
I wish I was in that position where people come to me to beg for my money and I could buy into the coolest and most rewarding businesses. Best job ever!

First time I got to dislike a Shark Tank clip for Clickbait. He ASKED them "IF he offered them $30 million would, you take it?" he did NOT make an offer. Furthermore he was out before he asked his question.
The thing is they don't care because they don't need the money! That's what the Entrepreneurs unfortunately don't get. I wasn't impressed with this company or app.
@@jgs_gamestudio9096 a loss is being deprived of something you own! they never had ownership in that project! it is a 'loss' if they made no other investments in 10 years to realize such return!
The "no" answer has been delivered with confident. That will tell you how much this ladies will work their ars@@# for this company. Pure respect here. My offer would be 1mil for 20% with respect. 🙂
man im obsessed with this show and dont care who says what i cant get enough of this haha i wouldnt take none of the deals on shark tank i dont really trust these people if you ask me
It doesn't matter how much you believe you can fly if you jump off a cliff. Yes, belief in oneself and your mission is a HUGE positive factor, and it'd be a miracle to succeed in business without it, but belief alone is not going to get you there. It is not *the* key, it is *one* key through a door with several locks.
I think the $300,000 in founders salary killed their interest. It gave the impression that founders want to put their interests over the business. They want to play safe. If this doesn't work atleast I got $100,000 for the year. They could have paid themselves $50,000 each just to pay off their rents and expenses. And use the money on the product. Thereby proving their commitment.
@@nicholasnoriega1205 You do realize 100K is nothing in SF tech? It's entry level salary. She'd easily be making 250K+ if she was working a normal job.
An extremely well-credentialed management team with a vision of how to market dating specifically to single women. Kicking them out of the business was the wrong move, even before we knew what happened later. Cuban put forward the wrong deal.
@@robertroberts3rd265 Extremely successful app with millions of users worth hundreds of millions of dollars. It is a noticeably different dating experience.
i just looked up the net worth today- 7 months after this clip was uploaded and Coffee Meets Bagel value is estimated at $150-$200m. good call from these sisters
I think Mark had the right idea by trying to buy the company outright. Most of the time you like to invest in the people, in this case the people are the liability. The product is good in a market that’s going to continue to grow, but the fact that they’re paying themselves a six-figure salary after having to raise most of what they had, are expecting to lose all of the ten million they are projecting the following year, and aren’t even willing to share the current number of subscribers, shows me that the sharks were correct in not getting into business with them.
@@jeanirizarry8400 They needed 5 rounds of funding to accumulate over $23 million from 10 different investors and so far it has taken 11 years to generate less than 3.5% of what they claimed they would generate yearly. I can only imagine how little of the company they still own with that much outside funding required.
I think the lady knew it wasn't an offer from Mark but rather a question so she said no. The right answer here is to say no for future investment opportunities. She knew Mark was already out and knew it was a mind game. Smart!
Title is clickbait! That was not an offer, Mark was testing them if they trusted themselves, they passed which Mark acknowledged by nodding his head, but no way he was offering 30M. If they said yes Mark would have simply said that they did not trust in themselves so he was still out :)
30m is a good deal. They will no longer have to risk and worry about losing money over their website. Ni more risk. Let that sink in. The only reason why it’s value rose to over a 100m days after this aired was because of the publicity. After this peak, who knows what will happen to it. Sure, it may be profitable, but 30m is a risk for the one buying it and guaranteed bread for the sellers for years.
It’s ridiculous this is considered the largest offer ever on shark tank when Mark was actually the first to drop out. He never made them an offer he was using it hypothetically to prove they came there for exposure and to not make a deal.
From Google: Since the three sisters founded it, the firm has expanded at an exponential rate. Coffee Meets Bagel, a social media dating app, has amassed a total net worth of $150 million.
Google estimates of net worth are usually complete fabrications and have been debunked by the very people being valuated. We have no clue what their revenue is or what they net.
For anyone watching this in 2024 and curious on timeline and how things went: 1) Coffee Meets Bagel launched in April 2012. 2) Went on Shark Tank in 2015 with self valuation of $10M ($500k @ 5%) 3) Mark Cuban hypothetically proposes $30M for 100% of company. 4) Sisters project to hit $10M revenue (break-even) within 1-2 years. Fast Foward to 2024: 1) Coffee Meets Bagel user count is 6.2M 2) annual revenue is $36M 4) Profit of $1M 5) current company valuation/worth projected at $150M **Side Note: Bumble launched in December 2014 (2yrs after CMB). Currently in 2024 has 12.3M users (almost double that of CMB). $275M revenue last quarter. $1.79B valuation.

This episode is more than 8 years old? Dang
Damn! Congratulations and wish you best of luck to both of you.
Imagine finding a husband on a dating app it’s sad people nowadays have to go on a stupid app to find someone to love instead of going outside to find someone themselves 😂😂😂😂
@@iliLaserili do you think people bumped into each other like a meet cute before dating apps existed? get outta here, you shut-in
@@iliLaserili how pathetic do you have to be in your own love life to hate on someone who’s happy and found there sole mate, its 2022 get over it boomer!
Love it when the sharks rib Kevin and he just grins and takes it wonderfully 😂
That 5% for 500K would now be worth 7.5 Million. absolutely insane, they missed out on
bro are u ok
His math is correct
Holding onto something you believe in. That takes guts, and absolute dedication. Legends, wow, congratulations.
They are 100% confident what they are doing, and that business will grow up to billions I believe.
yee already in the hundred millions
They've peaked at 3 million active users in 2023. Their shares are completely diluted after raising $31 million from VC. Newer apps like Bumble have overtaken them completely in terms of users. This episode was filmed around 2015. They were claiming getting 4 million new users in 2015. Not too bad though. They've milked a lot of salary from the company since then and the money they are losing is VC money.
That 30 million dollars was a trap question. She was smart enough to say no. He would have never paid that.
This is one of the best. And in history is one of the most successful products to have been presented in the tank.
Currently at 150 million net worth. Sharks really missed out here. Good job Kang sisters
@@jgs_gamestudio9096 not necessarily. It's probably like spending 100 million to get 150 million. When they finally burn all the money, it'll probably just collapse, unless they can continue to gather new investment.
@@gappergob6169 they most defiantly did not spend $100 million.
@@gappergob6169 Their "net worth" is 150 million. That means net of liabilities, they still have a worth of 150 million. They have 150 million to invest in themselves.
@Bussiness Name maybe they know by doing a quick google search
Just googled about them now and saw that they are valued at $150 million with over 36 million in annual revenue. They are still not profitable !
Robert said it correctly that they are not trying to make a business but just raising funds and acquiring customers.
Having said that they still have managed to do what many couldn’t. Hats off to them ! 👍
Lmfao@still not profitable
What exactly is doing what many couldn't? Most people could start a company that never gets profitable...
Absolute rubbish, they're worth over 150 million and very profitable now. What a stupid comment.
You _had_ to use the ''Google'' branded 'search-engine' device to acquire this information?
Well done, ladies, and congratulations. I’m here to tell you it works. My son and future daughter-in-law met on Coffee Meets Bagel, and they will be getting married later this year.❤
oh God, it is will his worst decision ) IMHO) good luck to them )
Two of my girlfriends met their husbands there too. This site seems to produce marriages lol
Marry in lust and haste and divorce/annul later!
@@kingston163salty single
I know someone who met their husband on there too
$100k is not a lot of money in the Bay Area. thats about $6k a month after taxes. a small studio rents for $2.5k. In San Francisco expect to pay $4-5k for a studio.
This episode is from Season 6, 8 years ago, still a fair pay tho.
@@tune2gr3is82 100k in SF or most of the peninsula won’t cut it. But on the east bay, from Fremont up Richmond 100k is plentty.
@@tune2gr3is82 You can get an apartment. I'm sure everyone that lives in SF isn't pulling down multiple six figures a year. The whole SF is super expensive thing is oversold.
Total Coffee Meets Bagel mobile app revenue in October 2022 was $1m, including $700k for iOS apps and $300k for Android apps. Total mobile app downloads for Coffee Meets Bagel was 200k, including 100k iOS app downloads and 60k Android app downloads. Coffee Meets Bagel has a total of 4 apps, including 2 iOS apps, and 2 Android apps. Their top grossing app last month was Coffee Meets Bagel Dating App and their most downloaded app was Coffee Meets Bagel Dating App.
Maybe the back door is data collection
@@hillaryconsultingservices it totally is
Good on them for not taking the deal. They are now worth 150 million dollars
Yeah true. But you never know the future it may have gone the other way so it was a bet that paid off. Maybe they shouda said if you offer 60 mil we will take it
No they aren't.
where did you read that?
They are worth 150 m lol you guys made me google it
Their site is worth $150 mil, they (the sisters) are not. They still had to raise capital after appearing on ST and received around $23 million from various investors shortly after ST. But they do still have a share of the company instead of taking $30 mil but no shares.
At 8:30 Cuban is having an epiphany…. Meditative talk with his universal gods getting that feeling he gets when he understands there is an opportunity and he’s going to take at and go all in.
This ep shows how out of touch the Sharks were with the tech industry at the time, with the exception of Mark and Robert. $100k in SF was entry-level salary, having that strong of a CAC/LTV ratio was fantastic (although would def get worse later), and the correct play was absolutely to throw money in and grow to get market share rather than growing low/slow, dating apps are all about users. The biggest risk wasn't copycats, it was their 100% reliance on Facebook. Still not sure it was a GREAT deal at $10m but the questions were way off base imo
we can see that sharks dont know much about the tech industry...they are focused mostly on traditional SMB than tech companies
You should have definitely been one of the host sharks for this episode😭😭🤝🏼spot on
Lori didn't mean 100k but total of 300k from the business and not many people make anything near that!!
@@v1n3ger43you're right that not a lot of people make $100k annually in general. However, $100k is a fair salary in comparison to what they could earn working for a tech company instead of being entrepreneurs. They deserved to pay themselves that much.
I wish I was in that position where people come to me to beg for my money and I could buy into the coolest and most rewarding businesses. Best job ever!
They aren’t really begging when they are offering money in return. I do hope I can do the same for indie game developers
Seriously!
However, their backs have been against the wall before. Read Barbara's book. It was definitely not an easy rise.
3:08 "Creepy strangers bombarding them with disgusting messages ... Kevin " 😂
Drawing a 100k salary is absolutely ridiculous and says a lot about them. I wouldn't partner solely for that reason.
100k/yr in San Francisco is not that much. It's one of the most expensive U.S. cities to live in.
100K in tech in SF is nothing especially for their profiles.
Dang I wish I was in their position and could just be like "Well, Im taking 100K for myself, but its OK because its less than I used to earn"
I know. That hit home to me too 🤣
Yeah, but you're also forgetting they live in San Francisco. A 100k salary is like 30k is most other cities. Point taken though.
@@billaroundtheglobepeople just don’t know how to live once they make 100K a year. There’s people making 50-60K a year doing just fine in nice neighborhoods in SF.
@@jgs_gamestudio9096 You can't even get approved for rent at a 50-60k salary in a nice neighborhood. Maybe if you lived with family and didn't have any loans then sure.
@@skyestinson6499 true…
It all starts at home, good parenting and congrats to these smart sisters succeeding..
I think he just wanted to check if it was a scam. mark is not an amateur
Barbara: I don't like Coffee or Bagels and for those reasons I'm out.
great comment😁😃
Sick of weak. Barbara joked
@@HF1.0 nah it's still hilarious
@@HF1.0 it's funny for me too
Barbara: I don't drink coffee, and for that reason I'm out.
First time I got to dislike a Shark Tank clip for Clickbait. He ASKED them "IF he offered them $30 million would, you take it?" he did NOT make an offer. Furthermore he was out before he asked his question.
Sharks missed on a huge meal. The company is now worth $150M. A $500k investment for 5% would now be worth $7.5M!
The thing is they don't care because they don't need the money! That's what the Entrepreneurs unfortunately don't get. I wasn't impressed with this company or app.
@@AuntBooeveryone gets hacked now, there’s not much you can do if you are a target
.5 to 7.5 mill in 10 years if hardly the return on investment these people would salivate over!!
@@jomangeee but it’s still a loss
@@jgs_gamestudio9096 a loss is being deprived of something you own! they never had ownership in that project! it is a 'loss' if they made no other investments in 10 years to realize such return!
The "no" answer has been delivered with confident. That will tell you how much this ladies will work their ars@@# for this company. Pure respect here. My offer would be 1mil for 20% with respect. 🙂
Barbara: "I already have a husband and for that reason I'm out"
Pretty sure she's on it and rocking it haha'
sales... $87,000.... Mark picks up his notebook again 😂
3:05 that’s actually really mean 😭 😂
They are definitely going to get exposure from this show 😂
They already did many years ago
This aired in 2015
man im obsessed with this show and dont care who says what i cant get enough of this haha i wouldnt take none of the deals on shark tank i dont really trust these people if you ask me
To get an excellent presentation comment from Kevin at the end speaks volumes!!!
They believe in what they do , that’s the key to success 🎉
It doesn't matter how much you believe you can fly if you jump off a cliff. Yes, belief in oneself and your mission is a HUGE positive factor, and it'd be a miracle to succeed in business without it, but belief alone is not going to get you there. It is not *the* key, it is *one* key through a door with several locks.
@@dismalthoughts every success stories begins from believing themselves.
You can believe in what you do, but you have to use your brain. There is no magic or guarantees in this tough world.
@@dismalthoughtsBro is yapping 💀
I think the $300,000 in founders salary killed their interest. It gave the impression that founders want to put their interests over the business. They want to play safe. If this doesn't work atleast I got $100,000 for the year. They could have paid themselves $50,000 each just to pay off their rents and expenses. And use the money on the product. Thereby proving their commitment.
Exactly, their ego was just disgusting. 100k? gtfo
@@nicholasnoriega1205 You do realize 100K is nothing in SF tech? It's entry level salary. She'd easily be making 250K+ if she was working a normal job.
No, it just shows how out of touch the sharks are from the tech sector.
Good luck living on 50K in the Bay Area.
This was Coffee meet bagel they’re worth $150M now with about 36 mil revenue per year
0:22 welp cannot show my parents this video i guess
He didn't offer thirty. He asked if he did offer it, would they take it. That is completely different.
This is an older episode. Not brand new. They now have millions of users, but a few years ago, they lost a lot of the user's data and trust.
Mark "did not offer" he said IF I did offer 30M. He wanted to see their response.
Dad did a great job with them 👏🏾
Mark said I'm out but still had interest in it. He would've bought the company if she told him yes❤
I think he was just testing them...
Barbara: I like meat and for that reason I’m in.
Also Barbara: I’m out.
@Mr BakedBean - Ohhhh ... you are SOOOO Funny !! (Not!)
Note that Mark said, "IF I offered you $30m..."
He never actually made the offer.
2:17 Barbara's writing she's out
😅😅
Robert Herjavec is HILARIOUS. Bro... tell me you don't have tech apps without telling me you don't have tech apps
An extremely well-credentialed management team with a vision of how to market dating specifically to single women. Kicking them out of the business was the wrong move, even before we knew what happened later. Cuban put forward the wrong deal.
What happened later?
@@robertroberts3rd265 Extremely successful app with millions of users worth hundreds of millions of dollars. It is a noticeably different dating experience.
100% agree Cuban lost out here
i just looked up the net worth today- 7 months after this clip was uploaded and Coffee Meets Bagel value is estimated at $150-$200m. good call from these sisters
I think Mark had the right idea by trying to buy the company outright. Most of the time you like to invest in the people, in this case the people are the liability. The product is good in a market that’s going to continue to grow, but the fact that they’re paying themselves a six-figure salary after having to raise most of what they had, are expecting to lose all of the ten million they are projecting the following year, and aren’t even willing to share the current number of subscribers, shows me that the sharks were correct in not getting into business with them.
They are currently worth 150mil. They were the right people.
@@jeanirizarry8400 They needed 5 rounds of funding to accumulate over $23 million from 10 different investors and so far it has taken 11 years to generate less than 3.5% of what they claimed they would generate yearly. I can only imagine how little of the company they still own with that much outside funding required.
They are from San Francisco. 100k salary is still low-end there.
@@aniketprasad3128 this episode aired in 2015. There’s no chance they didn’t give themselves massive raises since then.
@@Salohcin_x it was low in 2015 lol
Wow, this father did a great job 👏🏻
The woman in the middle saying "No" to Mark Cuban is music to my ears
Imagine going on a date off of a dating app and the person created the app 😂
I think the lady knew it wasn't an offer from Mark but rather a question so she said no. The right answer here is to say no for future investment opportunities. She knew Mark was already out and knew it was a mind game. Smart!
Title is clickbait! That was not an offer, Mark was testing them if they trusted themselves, they passed which Mark acknowledged by nodding his head, but no way he was offering 30M. If they said yes Mark would have simply said that they did not trust in themselves so he was still out :)
EXACTLY, thank you!! He's done that before and when they said 'yes' he said they don't trust the business...
And now the business is worth 150Million! Well done ladies!!
Are they profitable?
@@gajrajsingh8291 I guess so
At that time what's there business worth
Would’ve been more interesting show if they said yes and see how mark would react
The company now has a reported net worth of $150Million, they are probably still breaking even
Speciality of these people is they are always smiling and without under eye bags
30m is a good deal. They will no longer have to risk and worry about losing money over their website. Ni more risk. Let that sink in.
The only reason why it’s value rose to over a 100m days after this aired was because of the publicity. After this peak, who knows what will happen to it.
Sure, it may be profitable, but 30m is a risk for the one buying it and guaranteed bread for the sellers for years.
It’s ridiculous this is considered the largest offer ever on shark tank when Mark was actually the first to drop out. He never made them an offer he was using it hypothetically to prove they came there for exposure and to not make a deal.
He didn't make the offer he asked a question... big difference
Barbara: I don't like bagels and for that reason, I'm out.
From Google: Since the three sisters founded it, the firm has expanded at an exponential rate. Coffee Meets Bagel, a social media dating app, has amassed a total net worth of $150 million.
Google estimates of net worth are usually complete fabrications and have been debunked by the very people being valuated. We have no clue what their revenue is or what they net.
30 million is not an offer, he just wanted to check and trick them
They are worth 150 million now

For anyone watching this in 2024 and curious on timeline and how things went:
1) Coffee Meets Bagel launched in April 2012.
2) Went on Shark Tank in 2015 with self valuation of $10M ($500k @ 5%)
3) Mark Cuban hypothetically proposes $30M for 100% of company.
4) Sisters project to hit $10M revenue (break-even) within 1-2 years.
Fast Foward to 2024:
1) Coffee Meets Bagel user count is 6.2M
2) annual revenue is $36M
4) Profit of $1M
5) current company valuation/worth projected at $150M
**Side Note: Bumble launched in December 2014 (2yrs after CMB). Currently in 2024 has 12.3M users (almost double that of CMB). $275M revenue last quarter. $1.79B valuation.
Very detailed info. You could tell they knew their stuff.
