Founding cohort closes Tuesday, October 6

One person a week. No swiping, no feed.

A conversation, not a form. One person a week, never a swipe stack. You decide what anyone ever sees.

the things people come here to be understood about.

No forms. No swiping. You talk, you approve, and one person arrives each week.

Dora
just tell me what's been on your mind.
moved here a year ago, no real friends yet.
that's exactly what i'm here for.

Text Dora, in your own words.

No forms, no quiz. You tell Dora what sparks you alive, the way you'd text a friend. It happens right in your Messages.

Sam, 292 miles away
why you two: you both go all in on what you love, and neither of you needs small talk to feel close.

The Tuesday Drop.

Every Tuesday, one person who lights up at the same things you do, with a short why you two. Never a swipe deck.

Dora helps you get ready.

Who you're meeting, what'll happen, and an easy way in. No surprises, no script.

The meetup.

You show up as yourself, to someone who already gets it. First meets are online. You set the pace.

One conversation. One person. No performing, no audience. Just the people who get it.

Your personalized matchmaker

Dora is who you text, not a form to fill out. You tell her what actually sparks you alive, in your own words. Every Tuesday she introduces you to one person who lights up at the same things, with a short why you two. It is matchmaking, chosen on purpose, never a feed to scroll.

Dora's conversation stays private.

What you tell Dora stays between you and Dora. The person you meet only ever sees the short profile you approved. You can edit or delete it anytime.

Nothing is public.

There's no public feed, no follower count, no profile a stranger can find. You get one introduction at a time, not the internet.

You control what's shared, always.

Nothing is sent, matched, or shared without your yes. You start where you're comfortable and go at your pace. If texting an AI is hard to start, you can talk to a real person instead, same private system.

Someone who actually gets the thing you can't stop thinking about.
Side by side, no performance required.
Quiet company counts too.
A standing Tuesday call with someone who looks forward to it.
Doing your own thing, together.
Finally geeking out with someone who's just as into it.
“I am neurodivergent and an immigrant. I spent years masking. I know what it is like for people looking for their person and realizing no platform is built to help them find each other. I built likeu so you could.”
Rono Xia, founder

  • You light up about something, and no one around you quite gets it.
  • You're tired of explaining from the beginning every time.
  • You've looked for your people and found forums, hotlines, or apps full of strangers.
  • You want one real person who gets it, not an audience.

What people told us they were looking for

Voices of the need, in their own words.

“I've searched for local social groups, but most options either cater to people over 60 or lead me to apps full of fake profiles. I'm at a point of desperation.”

looking for people who get it

“It would be nice just to sit with one other person and chat through stuff.”

just wants a real conversation

“I couldn't find any groups for younger people with this. Everything I found was for a completely different situation.”

couldn't find the right group

likeu is early. We're sending the first introductions to a small group of founding members so we can build this right and stay close to the people in it.

  • ✦You're among the first matched when your people are found.
  • ✦Your profile is built from your words, never a form.
  • ✦You help shape what gets built next.

No. likeu is about finding the one person who gets what you're into. Introductions are friendship-first, not romance.

You just haven't been introduced yet.

A conversation, not a form. Nothing is shared without your yes. If texting an AI is hard to start, you can talk to a real person instead.

We're starting small. Founding members are introduced first.
