Venue Partners

Make your venue the place people say hello.

Y.I.S. turns dwell time into connection — without turning your space into a pickup bar. No chat. No profiles to browse. Just a quiet, verified signal between people already in the room.

Not a Dating App

Built to be the opposite of "seedy."

Every design decision removes the anonymity and messaging that make other apps a brand-safety risk.

No Chat, No DMs — Ever

The only way to act on a signal is to walk up and say hello, in person, in your venue. No private messaging exists to abuse.

Selfie-Verified, Liveness Checked

Every member passes a live selfie + gesture check. No anonymity, no catfishing, no burner accounts.

Invisible By Default

Visibility is opt-in and instantly revocable. Nobody is 'on display' — it's a private signal, not a public profile.

18+ Gate, Block & Report

Hard age verification at signup, plus in-app reporting and permanent bans for any misuse.

What's In It For You

A budget line, not a bet.

Longer Dwell Time

A reason to linger over one more coffee is a reason to spend more per visit — and come back tomorrow to see who's around.

An Ownable, Press-Worthy Angle

"The anti-dating-app place to meet people" is a genuinely new story in a category fatigued by swipe apps — earned media, not paid.

Real Footfall Data

Anonymised dwell-time and activity heatmaps per store, useful input for your own site and staffing decisions.

Zero Operational Lift

We supply the verification, moderation and safety layer. You supply the space — same model as any wifi or loyalty-app partnership.
