A trust graph for tradespeople

Hire the plumber your neighbor swears by.

Skip the reviews from strangers. Refind shows you exactly which workers your friends — and their friends — already trust. Phone numbers, not star ratings.

Built around the people in your phonebook. The graph fills in as your circle joins.

How it works

Three small steps. One quietly enormous idea.

Refind is built on a simple observation: if two people in your contact list both have the same plumber saved, that plumber is probably good. We made that observable.

01

Save the people you already use.

Open Refind, scroll through your contacts, and tap the plumber you've been calling for years. Same for the electrician, the dog walker, the piano tuner.

02

Your saves become someone else's recommendations.

When two friends save the same phone number, Refind notices. That number quietly rises in everyone's network — without anyone writing a review.

03

Search your network, not the internet.

Need a roofer? Refind shows you the roofers your circle uses, who vouched for them, and a tap to ask. No SEO games, no fake reviews, no strangers.

Why this isn't Yelp

Reviews assume the world is full of strangers. It isn't.

The trust graph

Every person you trust is a doorway to a better answer.

Refind is a map of who in your contacts trusts whom in their trades. The more of your circle joins, the more roofers, dentists and dog walkers your map can find — without ever showing your contacts to anyone.

For tradespeople

Your old customers are quietly working for you.

Every time someone you've worked for saves your number in Refind, you become slightly more visible to their friends. No profile to maintain. No reviews to chase. You only hear from leads you'd want.

Start with the four people you'd already call back.

Save the plumber, the electrician, the dog walker, the moving company. The graph builds itself from there.
