FORBES – Oct 25 – Coffee Meets Bagel, a dating site aimed at young people. At noon every day all the single ladies/gentlemen are sent one match based off of their Facebook connections. Then they have 24 hours to choose to go on a date or pass and wait for who will be sent tomorrow. The site is launching in the San Francisco area using $600K in funding from Lightbank (started by the Groupon founders) and Peng Ong of Match.com. In fact the entire Coffee Meets Bagel team set up a new headquarters in SF. The site first launched in New York and Boston but already has ~1K users in SF. After the SF launch CMB is looking to expand to Chicago, Seattle and LA.
