Built by someone who spent over 25 years listening to what people actually need.

I spent over 25 years in mental health, listening to people talk about their relationships - the ones they had, the ones they lost, the ones they couldn’t seem to find. And then I found myself single, in my forties, staring at the apps like everyone else.

What struck me wasn’t that dating apps are bad. It’s that they’re built on the wrong idea. They assume connection is a numbers problem - that if you just see enough people, one of them will be right. But anyone who has ever been well introduced knows the truth: it was never about the numbers. It was about someone who knew you both, saying “you two should meet.”

So I built Reddi to bring the introduction back. Not just for dating - for friendship, for work, for the rooms we walk into every week. A network where the point isn’t how many people are in it, but that they’re people you’d actually want to know. That thinking shaped Scout, the one making every introduction.

At the end of the day, that’s all any of us are looking for - the right rooms, with the right people in them.
