The sisters were on a mission to create a dating app that would go beyond ā€œswiping rightā€ and instead give everyone a chance at love. In 2015, Dawoon and her sisters appeared on the hit ABC show ā€œShark Tank,ā€ where they generated waves for receiving the highest offer ā€“ and for turning it down. As Chief Dating Officer, Dawoon focuses on ā€œthe science of datingā€ to improve the appā€™s user experience and match results. Sheā€™s appeared on numerous outlets, from CNBC to Bloomberg. And, sheā€™s given multiple talks on dating, technology, and entrepreneurship ā€“ most notably her 2015 TEDx, ā€œThe Beautiful Truth About Online Dating.ā€
