Dawoon Kang is the Co-Founder and Co-CEO of Coffee Meets Bagel. She knows a thing or two about building a successful business, and finding love during the age of COVID. So how have relationships changed as a result of the pandemic? We dig into this and much more during this Zoom-edition of the podcast.

We learn more about the origins of Coffee Meets Bagel, which is one of the most successful dating apps on the planet. We learn how hard it is to start a business with family, but some of the rewards that come alongside it.

We ask Dawoon the magic question - how will dating change during Coronavirus? Will human relationships fundamentally change forever, and if so how? Dawoon provides insightful answers to how she's seeing dating change, and whether if you're looking it's actually a good time.

We talk about video dating, Zoom fatigue and whether it's even possible to build meaningful connections during this time. And what things may be like when we re-open. Enjoy today's episode of the show.
