About

We're trying to make networking feel human again.

The best opportunities still come from people who know you. We just want to make sure they remember you on a Tuesday morning.

We started Referral Reminders because we kept watching the same thing happen to people we love: incredible work, generous networks, and a steady drip of missed opportunities — not from lack of skill or effort, but because life moves fast and people forget.

Networking apps tried to fix this by becoming louder. More notifications. More feeds. More gamification. We think it goes the other way: a single, small, well-timed nudge — like a friend bcc'ing you on a Tuesday — works better than a feed could ever hope to.

So that's the whole product. One email. The right people. Their actual asks, in their actual voice. The rest we try not to build.

Principles

What we won't build.

No feed. No scroll.

Email is the most human surface we have. We don't need to build another one.

No public profile.

Your network is yours. We won't turn it into a directory or a leaderboard.

No "growth hacks."

You won't get a notification because we want engagement metrics. We just want intros to happen.

No reframing your asks.

Your words go out verbatim. AI doesn't get to make your ask sound more 'professional.'

No carpet of icons.

Visual restraint is a feature. The product fades; the people show up.

No quarterly enterprise pivot.

Built for individuals and small networks. We'll stay there.

One person, one bell.

Built quietly out of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania — in golden hour, between everything else. The product stays small because the person building it is.
