@@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
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
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.
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.

Even then that's about a 40% annualized return, given the risk of a tank deal...still not a massive win best case.

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 ! 👍
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.
Right, after many more equity raises. How much does that belong to existing shareholders at the time of this episode who could have had 30 million? They did many more rounds after this was recorded.
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.

This BOOSTED my confidence and belief that in business, it's not all about the moneh. It's about their passion,dedication and passion they put in that give these highly intellectual sisters the highest confidence in their business...this to me...is the BIGGEST INVESTMENT they could put in. Harvard and Stanford didn't just exist for no reason...here's one proof.😊
To be fair though there’s WAY more successful entrepreneurs that didn’t go to Harvard or Stanford than there are. Creating a good product and finding good marketing doesn’t require a 600 thousand dollar degree
@@bruh.2516 For sure. If someone spends years of their life in their prime in these indoctrination camps and goes hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt that’s basically an indication to me they’re not very intelligent. Of course there are exceptions if someone really wants to be a doctor or lawyer or something but generally speaking the piece of paper isn’t worth it for most people.
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.
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.
$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.

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.

The fact that they are now worth 150million dollars says it all

125M, but… same difference lol.
@@ParissaKhoury bro u good?
@@airbvrne no he’s not, and for that reason, I’m out.
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?
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.
Just for everyone’s information, this company is now worth $160 million.
so what? With a partner, it might be worth 6 billion. Who knows?
Right, after many more equity raises. How much does that belong to existing shareholders at the time of this episode who could have had 30 million? They did many more rounds after this was recorded.
Love it when the sharks rib Kevin and he just grins and takes it wonderfully 😂
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.
3:05 that’s actually really mean 😭 😂
3:08 "Creepy strangers bombarding them with disgusting messages ... Kevin " 😂
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. 🙂
The company is now worth 150 million dollars and generates 30+ million dollars a year. Excellent decision
sales... $87,000.... Mark picks up his notebook again 😂
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…
They are definitely going to get exposure from this show 😂
They already did many years ago
This aired in 2015
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.
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
0:22 welp cannot show my parents this video i guess
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.

Maybe the back door is data collection
@@hillaryconsultingservices it totally is
They never wanted a deal with that low of an equity offer, just wanted the free advertising
Damn! Makes a lot of sense what you’re saying! They went on TV to make a free commercial!
I think he just wanted to check if it was a scam. mark is not an amateur
Dad did a great job with 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!)
To get an excellent presentation comment from Kevin at the end speaks volumes!!!
That 30 million dollars was a trap question. She was smart enough to say no. He would have never paid that.
This BOOSTED my confidence and belief that in business, it's not all about the moneh. It's about their passion,dedication and passion they put in that give these highly intellectual sisters the highest confidence in their business...this to me...is the BIGGEST INVESTMENT they could put in. Harvard and Stanford didn't just exist for no reason...here's one proof.😊
so true
This isn’t a business it’s an app
The moneh!!!!
To be fair though there’s WAY more successful entrepreneurs that didn’t go to Harvard or Stanford than there are. Creating a good product and finding good marketing doesn’t require a 600 thousand dollar degree
@@bruh.2516 For sure. If someone spends years of their life in their prime in these indoctrination camps and goes hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt that’s basically an indication to me they’re not very intelligent. Of course there are exceptions if someone really wants to be a doctor or lawyer or something but generally speaking the piece of paper isn’t worth it for most people.
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
Imagine going on a date off of a dating app and the person created the app 😂
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.
Barbara: "I already have a husband and for that reason I'm out"
Pretty sure she's on it and rocking it haha'
2:17 Barbara's writing she's out
😅😅
Barbara: I don't drink coffee, and for that reason I'm out.
$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.
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.
Barbara: I don't like Coffee or Bagels and for those reasons I'm out.
great comment😁😃
Sick of weak. Barbara joked

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
This was Coffee meet bagel they’re worth $150M now with about 36 mil revenue per year
Wow, this father did a great job 👏🏻
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 is unbelievable! Good for them
Barbara: I once burned myself while toasting a bagel and then spilled the coffee i was holding on myself and for that reason I'm out.
😂😂😂
Thr most impressive episode since I started watching Shark Tank from the very first episode.
🎉🎉❤
You never want to tell an investor your paying yourself 100k or in their case 300k, when you're asking for equity 😂
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
Mark "did not offer" he said IF I did offer 30M. He wanted to see their response.
This episode was how long ago? I've never heard of this site, and I tried plenty of dating sites/apps for a while there.
I am going to sign up on their website, I love those 3 ladies already.
3:12 Mr. wonderful is gonna touch u 😂😂😂😂
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.
Robert Herjavec is HILARIOUS. Bro... tell me you don't have tech apps without telling me you don't have tech apps
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.
Mark asked that question knowing that type of business would blow up on the next couple of years! He knew what they were bringing to the table.
Oculus, a Facebook/Meta company, was given so much flack for requiring a Facebook account for the Quest 2. Seems kinda ridiculous that a 3rd party app requires it.
Kind of creepy having an app creeping through all your facebook stuff searching for “who” you are! No way!
The way she said no. Iconic
Genius. Their appearance on Shark Tank probably made them more customers than the $500k would have given them.
Question: If they source from Facebook, what's to stop FB from creating their own app doing the exact same thing? =/
Mark early on “I’m out” …… he’s playing chess while everyone else is playing checkers
5:28 , kevin, lets cut to the chase !
Would’ve been more interesting show if they said yes and see how mark would react
8:29 ... Mark sleeping while Kevin's talking lmao
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

@@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!
