Rejecting a financial investment from billionaire level Cuban can result in a huge fallout.
That was the outcome for Arum Kang, cofounder of going out with app espresso joins Bagel.
Kang and her two sisters pitched Cuban along with more sharks on ABC’s Shark fuel tank in a sequence that broadcast in January 2015. Cuban little: they provided $30 million for the whole service, the most important give when you look at the program’s record at the time.
Though the female don’t take their price, and Kang claimed the vitriol was actually intensive.
“It was one of the primary periods we decided we were becoming assaulted maybe since [our] sex,” mentioned Kang onstage during the Montgomery Summit on Tuesday.
Kang claimed the insults — which can be found in the type of messages, app reviews and YouTube statements — were largely similar sentiment: “Greedy sisters.” They certainly were named anything from spoiled to stupid.
“eventually, I did inquire, basically were a guy, would i’ve been also known as each one of these figure?” Kang explained on a a panel moderated by CNNMoney’s Cristina Alesci.
Alesci responded: “Probably you would’ve come referred to as clever.”
