According to Australia's "New Fast Network" reported on May 26, the American dating software "When Coffee Meets Bego" (coffeemeetsbagel) will be released in Australia on the 26th, and it has been famous for rejecting the huge invitation proposed by the American reality TV show "Sharktank".
According to the Daily Telegraph, the company's chief operating officer, Dawoonkan, said the company chose Sydney as its second international base because half of Sydney's residents over the age of 15 are single, and many of them meet the age of 21 to 35 of its target audience.
Dai Wu, one of the founders, said that "when coffee meets bego" in Australia will be positioned as a "rival to tinder", which she said changed the online dating market, but also has shortcomings. "People are now more open to online dating, but online dating is also discredited because of tinder because it's too focused on matchmaking and entertainment."
According to reports, the concept of "when coffee meets bego" is that in the dating process, the number of people to choose from is not necessarily a good thing. As a result, the site will only recommend one date to you every day at noon. After receiving the referral message, you need to decide to "accept" or "abandon" within 24 hours. In addition, it requires users to log in with a Facebook account, and the people who are recommended are from "friends of friends." This "invisible" social connection can make dating safer and have a higher success rate. Users can also purchase more "coffee beans" within the free program to unlock extra features such as mutual friends who discover objects.
Dai Wu said that in the first three years of the program's launch in the United States, more than 25 million introductions have been made, and at least 10,000 pairs have actually been matched, resulting in 120 marriages or engagements. Dai Wu also said her company plans to expand further in Australia, with the next target being singles in Melbourne. (Intern Editor: Si Yijie Review: Cheng Junqiu)
