The warm intro,finally done right.
Cleya is an AI that learns what you’re building and who you need — then arranges genuine introductions to the right founders, investors, and talent. No cold outreach. No spam. Both sides say yes before any intro is made.

The problem
Your next investor, co-founder,or first customer is two people away.You’ll probably never meet them.
Cold outreach gets ignored
A DM to a stranger is a coin flip at best. Spray-and-pray burns your reputation and your time.
Your network quietly decays
The people who could open doors slip into dormant contacts you never think to message.
Warm intros are awkward to ask
The best path is a mutual connection — but asking them to vouch feels like a favour you can’t keep calling in.
Cleya closes that gap — quietly, and only when both sides want it.
Double opt-in
No intro is made unless both sides say yes first. You review every match before contact is shared.
Invite-only
You can’t sign up off the street: every account is opened with an invite code, from an approved application or a member who vouched for you.
No cold outreach
Cleya never emails your contacts or spams your network.

How it works
Three steps to a real introduction
Tell Cleya your goals
Share what you're building and who you need. Cleya learns your thesis, stage, and the kind of people who'd move it forward.
Get curated matches
A few at a time, never a feed to scroll — Cleya paces them so each one lands. Each match comes with the why and a mutual thread.
Both say yes
Only when you both opt in does Cleya make the warm intro — over email, WhatsApp, or SMS, in one consistent voice.

Why it works
Four graphs most networks never build
A feed optimises for time-on-app. Cleya models the things that actually make an introduction land.
Intent graph
What you’re trying to do right now — raise, hire, find a co-founder. Cleya matches on live intent, then lets it expire so your matches stay current.
Relationship graph
Who you actually know and how strongly — shown as words, never scores. It finds the warm path to people you don’t know yet, through someone you both trust.
Outcome graph
What your introductions turn into — meetings, deals, hires. The only network that measures whether it actually worked, not vanity connection counts.
Help graph
Who you’re well-placed to help right now, from what you’ve said you offer. Reciprocity that compounds — the fastest way to earn warm intros back.
