Yente

Founding cohort

There is no form. That is deliberate.

A form makes you answer the questions someone guessed you could answer. Yente would rather read what you actually wrote, then ask about what is missing. So the signup is an email — and it is also her first piece of evidence about you.

Developers & founders

You build. You are raising, hiring into a team, or open to the right room.

Investors, employers & acquirers

You deploy capital, hire, or acquire. You want fit, not volume.

Write to Yente

Both buttons open your own mail app with a few questions pre-filled. Edit them, delete the ones you would rather not answer, attach a résumé or portfolio if you have one to hand, and send. You will hear back from Yente with your seat number and whatever she still needs.

What happens after you send it

  1. Your seat is reserved the moment the mail arrives, and the number on this page moves.
  2. Yente reads what you sent and replies with what she understood — in your words, with the lines she took it from — so you can correct her before anyone else sees a thing.
  3. She asks two or three questions, not twenty. Only what the evidence did not already answer.
  4. Then she goes quiet until something real clears the bar on both sides. That silence is the product working, not failing.

Before anyone meets

The introduction belongs to both people.

Evidence stays private

Your résumé helps Yente understand you. It is never forwarded to a proposed match.

A pass is enough

Either person can pass privately, or stop entirely. No explanation is required, and the other side is never told who declined.

No fee, ever

Not on the introduction, not on the round, not on the offer. Yente has no stake in whether you take the meeting — which is the only reason the email is worth opening.

Deletion is real

Ask to be erased and you are erased, not flagged. Say stop and she stops.
