Would you use a tool that introduces you to just one highly relevant person each week?

Most networking platforms feel like noise.


You join a few Slack groups, post in some forums, fire off a few DMs… and maybe, if you’re lucky, you meet someone cool.


So I started building something different.

📬 One curated match per week
🧠 Based on your goals, background, and preferences
💬 One high-signal conversation that could change your direction

It’s like a personal networking concierge — warm intros only, no spam, no awkward “hey, what do you do?” energy.

We’ve been testing this quietly with a small group of PMs, consultants, freelancers, and indie founders. People are using it to:

  • Find collaborators and growth partners

  • Meet startup advisors and early hires

  • Build trust-based networks without doing the cold outreach hustle

🔍 I’m curious:

  • Would you use something like this?

  • Who would you want to be matched with each week?

  • What would make a match feel “worth it” to you?

We’re prepping for a soft launch and opening early access to 100 folks.

Would love your thoughts 🙌


(And happy to send a link to try it out if you’re interested.)

Sounds like Coffee Meets Bagel but for networking?

@mikekerzhner Yup, in a way but not necessarily for in-person. I've met people online and been able to meaningfully help each other in our respective businesses even though we've not met in-person yet
