About Meeno

Backed by Sequoia Capital, AI Fund & NEA, and founded by the former CEO of Tinder, Meeno helps people build real-world social courage through voice-based practice: 1-minute scenes, instant scoring, and personalized feedback.

Not a dating app. Not a companion. Not therapy. IRL reps to help Gen Z meet people IRL.
  • Own the technical foundation of Meeno end-to-end: Web + mobile + backend + data + experimentation
    • Co-design product vision in close partnership with Meeno’s team:
  • Renate Nyborg, founder/CEO (former Tinder CEO, ex Apple/Headspace)
  • Josh Knox, product lead (founder of Outright, brand and content expert)
  • Andrew Ng, Chairman (AI Fund, founder of Coursera/Google Brain)
    • Build core AI product primitives:
  • Voice capture/playbackLow-latency interactions
  • Scene framework (content + branching + scoring hooks)
  • Feedback loops and user progression
  • Personalization
    • Architect for speed + iteration (weekly experiments, not quarterly releases).
    Set the engineering bar:
  • Quality, reliability, security/privacy, and shipping culture.
    • Hire and mentor engineers as we scale:
  • Focus on quality over quantity, leveraging AI and talent to scale while staying lean.
  • Strong builder who has shipped consumer products.
  • Comfortable with ambiguity and moving fast without breaking the soul of the product.
  • Product taste: you care about “feel,” not just functionality.
  • Excited by voice, interaction design, and behavior change.
  • Can operate like a founder: make tradeoffs, set direction, ship.
  • Hyped about social connection, empathy for Gen Z loneliness.
  • Early adopter of AI-driven development.
  • Hungry for rapid career progression and societal impact.
  • Experience with audio/voice pipelines, realtime systems, mobile performance.
  • History of building unconventional projects (creative tech, experiments, indie builds).
  • Interest in human behavior, social dynamics, and product psychology.
  • You are not passionate about our mission.
  • You only want to manage, not build.
  • You need perfect specs to move.
  • You optimize for process over product feel.
  • You are not fun.
  • Meeno has a stable foundation, and we can run rapid experiments.
  • Our product feels fast, human, and culturally sharp.
  • We have a pipeline of world-class engineering talent.
  • We are well-positioned to raise Series A with clear signal on north star metrics.
  • We are having fun.
