Three Day Rule Before Shark Tank
Val Brennan, co-founder of Three Day Rule always wanted to become a lawyer, so she went to the University of Florida and studied law between 2003 and 2006. Once she graduated and became a lawyer, she noticed that she was always spending a lot of time on her career, and never had time to go out and meet people. This went on for a while, and Val Brennan stayed single for a long time. At that very moment, she decided to come up with a system, where young and successful professionals could meet each other, without the hassle of going through a lot of fake and inactive dating profiles.
She came up with the idea for Three Day Rule, because she wanted to be able to help out busy professionals to find the love of their lives. She states that the difference between Three Day Rule and other dating websites is that, the applicants on Three Day Rule are going through a screening, and all of their new members need to be endorsed by existing members. Val Brennan and her partner need an investment from the Sharks, in order to be able to get Three Day Rule off the ground, and to be able to get a market share in the trillion-dollar online dating business.

Val Brennan also states that she just didn’t have the time to join any mass market dating websites, which are filled with millions of profiles that are fake, inactive or people who she would never date.
Val Brennan continues her presentation by saying that she also did not have the time to spend yet another Friday night in a bar, talking to a guy, only to realize that he already has a girlfriend. She claims that she knew that she wasn’t alone in this, and knew that busy professionals deserved a better experience, which is why she and her partner created Three Day Rule. She claims that Three Day Rule is unique from other mass market dating websites because everyone must be invited or endorsed, in order to get in. Three Day Rule is like a private dating club, with the result being that there is a quality pool of extraordinary singles.

Val Brennan answers the question by saying that they have a number of criteria. She states that their demographic are the twelve million people, who are making over fifty thousand dollars a year.

Val Brennan continues by stating that they are also looking for people who are established in their careers, who have had accomplishments and not only in their professional life, but also in their personal life. She says that the key difference between Three Day Rule and other dating websites is that you actually have to go through an application process, and fill in a quiz, before you are able to get on the website.
“Robert Herjavec states that Val Brennan might find this hard to believe, but sometimes guys tend to lie, and asks Val Brennan if they validate any of the application information”
Val Brennan answers the question by saying that they do validate all of the information that the applicants send to them. She continues by saying that they have additional premium services, which offers an additional revenue stream for them, beyond the subscription fee that they are charging, and by opting in for the premium services, members will actually have a “verified logo” on their profiles.
“Mark Cuban states that, if he will not pay extra money for the premium service, he will get all the liars, and asks Val Brennan if this is true”

“Robert Herjavec states that Daymond John made a very good point”
“Barbara Corcoran asks Val Brennan how many members they already have”

“Barbara Corcoran states that everyone will join the service, when it is free”

“Daymond John states that he is confused, and asks Val Brennan if all of the other dating sites are not doing basically the same thing as Three Day Rule”
Val Brennan states that the difference between Three Day Rule and other dating websites is that they actually screen people, before they can sign up to Three Day Rule. She also states that no other dating website is screening people, and that anybody with an email address can log in to some of those mass market dating websites and create a profile.
“Mark Cuban and Robert Herjavec state that they do not agree on the fact that other mass market dating websites do not screen their applicants”
“Kevin O’Leary states that all he cares about is making money, and that Val Brennan should explain to him how he would be able to do that, should he invest in Three Day Rule”
Val Brennan states that members need to pay one hundred dollars a month, and that they are able to purchase subscriptions for one month, three months or six months. She continues by stating that the average customer will stay on Three Day Rule for about three to six months, so they will make three hundred to six hundred dollars per customer. So, if you have two hundred thousand members, and you go across twenty large cities, by year three, you will have twenty million dollars.
“Kevin O’Leary states that Val Brennan does not have evidence to back up that claim”
“Robert Herjavec states that Val Brennan has all the perfect answers, but they are all in theory, and there is no evidence at all”
“Mark Cuban states that he is looking for a reason to say yes, and if there is a way to differentiate for real, then Three Day Rule is a homerun, and states that he gives Val Brennan one last chance to come up with evidence to support her claims”
Val Brennan states that their major selling point is the fact that every member needs to be endorsed. This means that there are social contacts around each and every member. Before you start communicating with someone on Three Day Rule, you know that he or she has gone through a screening process, which leads to trust, because whoever you are meeting, is someone real, and all of the things on their profile are real as well.
Mark Cuban states that the reasoning is not strong enough and that he thinks that every matchmaker would tell her the exact same thing. He states that there is just not enough of a differentiation, and for that reason, he is out.
Kevin O’Leary states that he doesn’t think Three Day Rule will ever dominate the online dating business, because that has already been done. He states that the giant online dating services will maybe buy Three Day Rule, or maybe crush it, and do whatever they feel like. Kevin O’Leary states that it is a very big risk to invest in Three Day Rule, and for that reason, he is out.
Daymond John states that Val Brennan is asking for two hundred thousand dollars for ten percent, which means that she is valuing Three Day Rule for two million dollars. Daymond John states that he would never invest in a single matchmaker, and says that he is out.
Robert Herjavec states that it has been a very pleasant journey and that Val Brennan is very pleasant. He states that he was hoping that Val Brennan would show him why Three Day Rule is different from all of the other dating sites, and because she did not do this, he states that he is out as well.
Barbara Corcoran states that Val Brennan was not convincing at all, and that she really dislikes the Three Day Rule name. For those reasons, Barbara Corcoran is out as well.
Three Day Rule Now in 2024 – The After Shark Tank Update
Three Day Rule was established only a few weeks before Val Brennan decided to seek an investment from the Sharks. Her company was probably not struggling with any financial problems, due to the fact that she already had a couple of investors. It felt like she was looking to get an investment from the Sharks, just so that Three Day Rule could have a chance in taking some of the online dating market share, by taking advantage of all of the powerful connections that the Sharks have. There is no mention of Three Day Rule being the best or worst on Shark Tank, however, the Sharks were not interested in making an investment, due to the fact that they believed it was too risky.
Three Day Rule still exists as an online dating website, and you can find it by going to https://www.threedayrule.com/. However, it seems like the way it works has changed, since Val Brennan was on the Shark Tank. You first need to sign up for a free membership, after which you need to take a three minute quiz. After that, you will meet your personal matchmaker, who will be in touch with you after forty eight hours. If you choose a free membership, your matchmaker will contact you when you are a potential match for a paid member. If you become a paid member, your matchmaker will find, meet in person and introduce you to the very best dates. There is no information about the costs to become a paid member, which is unfortunate.
There are a lot of very positive testimonials about Three Day Rule, which makes me think that the website is actually successful. It seems like Val Brennan has also finally met the love of her life, because she also has written a testimonial. It seems like Val Brennan is no longer affiliated with Three Day Rule and returned to being a lawyer.
