14. Coffee Meets Bagel – 21M Users
Three women founded Coffee Meets Bagel because they were disappointed and frustrated with online dating, and they decided to change it.
From the beginning, Coffee Meets Bagel has prioritized quality over quantity, but that doesn’t mean the dating app doesn’t have a large user base. Over 21 million users have joined the CMB community seeking a better dating experience.
In 2015, the Coffee Meets Bagel team turned down $30 million from “Shark Tank” investor Mark Cuban because they wanted to maintain control over the direction of the app and the user experience.
