Opening city by city across the U.S.
Meet people in person, matched on what matters.
Zydeby Personal finds one well-matched person at a time, for dating, friendship or mentoring, and plans a first meeting around something you'd both enjoy. There's no chat to keep up and no profile to scroll past. You just show up.

Three ideas behind everything
Side by side
Doing something together is easier than sitting across a table. Every first meeting is an activity. Why it works
No pressure
Decide privately, and nobody finds out if you pass. Say up front what you're hoping for. How we keep it easy
No messaging, just meeting
No inbox, no pen pals. If you both say yes, the app plans the meeting. Why there's no chat
Four ways to meet
Looking for work, or hiring?
zydeby:work
The same idea for your career: meet an employer, a client, a mentor or a peer in person, matched on fit. zydeby:work
How Zydeby works
Answer at your own pace
Start with the basics and add more over time. Every question can be skipped, and each group ends with a short insight about you.
Get one match
Matching runs each night. You see their card, fit labels by topic and what they're hoping for.
Decide privately
Choose what you expect and up to three answers to share. If either of you passes, nobody finds out.
Plan it without chatting
Rank six activity ideas picked for both of you. The app combines your choices into one plan.
Meet side by side
A time, a place and a way to find each other. Each of you brings one question to ask, and you make one choice together. More
Reflect, then keep going
A short private review sharpens your next match. Answer more questions any time to make matching better.
