The care/of Index
For those who understand that the right connections—romantic, social, collaborative—are the ultimate edge. Each note explores the art of building partnerships that endure: slow, deliberate, and alive with meaning.
Relationships as an edge — not an afterthought.
Meet your next co-founder. Your life partner. The friend you didn't know you needed. All in one place, built on trust and trajectory, not algorithms.
Here's how it works:
Every Friday, you’ll receive one anonymized profile by email.
No names. No contacts. No résumés. Just thoughtful answers that reveal who someone truly is: their values, character, and what they’re building next.
Read the profile. If it resonates, reply with a short note on what drew you in. If the feeling is mutual, we’ll make the introduction.
- • For romantic partnerships. The person you'll build a life with.
- • For lifelong friendships. The people who can support the journey, not just celebrate the wins.
- • For professional collaborations. The co-founder for the startup you're building in stealth mode. The mentor for the career pivot you're exploring in private.
It doesn't have to be lonely at the top...
After a certain point in life, the hardest thing is no longer growth—it's trust.
The circle around you may mean well, but few can truly relate with who you've become or where you're going.
Advice feels shallow. Introductions feel transactional. Privacy feels compromised.
That's the danger of success: it isolates.
The very thing you worked for creates a distance others can't bridge. And yet, without the right companions, even the best progress feels hollow.
What if you could find people who match your depth, move at your pace, and are ready to build something meaningful with you?
That's where we come in.
The care/of method
Request an invitation
care/of is invite-only. We curate for depth, emotional intelligence, and genuine intent. Apply below or request an introduction from a current member.
Create your profile
Each profile begins with reflection. You’ll answer questions that reveal character, values, and the kind of life you’re building. We refine for clarity, but your essence remains untouched. What emerges is an authentic portrait — an anonymous avatar that speaks on your behalf and draws in the people who truly understand you.
Review weekly profiles
Every Friday, you’ll receive a single, carefully curated, anonymized profile in your inbox. Read it slowly, thoughtfully. Notice what resonates. The best connections begin with curiosity, not urgency.
Express interest
If you'd like to meet someone, let us know. We'll check to see if they feel the same about your profile, then facilitate the introduction.
Meet in real life... or not
We connect you through secure aliases where you can talk privately and explore if there's true alignment. You both get to decide when — or if — to reveal your identities and take things offline. Privacy is built in, so you can explore freely and authentically.
Refine your experience
After each introduction, you’ll have the chance to share what resonated and what didn’t. Your reflections help us attune the process to you — your pace, your preferences, and your patterns. Over time, these notes will personalize your profile further, and sharpen the precision of your matches.
This is not a dating app.
This is a private network for people who understand that relationships—romantic, social, and collaborative—are the most important thing they'll ever build.
A network for people who are done performing, done trying to fit in, and ready to create genuine connections on their own terms.
A network built for who you've become.
