NYC founding cohort100 places$50, refundable

Meet. Resonate. Belong.

One honest conversation. One vetted cohort. One introduction — with a written case for why. $50, refundable if we don’t deliver.

The interview that
actually listens

A real onboarding chat, and the structured memory Kruq builds as you talk. Editable, never a black box. Mock data.

When your cohort is ready, introductions look like this ↓

This is what an
introduction looks like

Every Kruq introduction arrives as a written case — why you two, where you'll differ, and how to start. Sample below; names changed.

Mira & You

Founding cohort · Introduction No. 014

Sample

You answered the intent question the same way, down to the timeline: marriage, two years, no hedging. She wrote “done auditioning people.” You wrote “done proving I'm fine alone.” Different words, same place — past the performing stage, ready for the building stage. That's the foundation. What follows is why we think the details hold up, and the one place they'll rub.

reviewed — E., Kruq team

Reviewed by a person before it ever reaches you. No black box.

After the cohort

The founding hundred is the beginning, not the format. Here’s what search looks like when the pool never stops growing.

01 You say it

No filters. No checkboxes.

You tell Kruq who you’re looking for the way you’d tell a friend — one message, your own words.

02 Your agent meets theirs first

Before you spend a single evening on anyone, your Kruq sits down with theirs.

A real conversation, agent to agent— your values against their pattern, your dealbreakers against their habits, what a hard week would look like between you two.

Your agent speaks only from what you’ve told it and confirmed — nothing invented, nothing guessed.

The small talk, the screening, the “so what are you looking for” — handled before hello.

Founding members search first — and their agents already know them best.

One rule never changes: we profit when you leave — not when you stay.

One price. One promise

A $50 deposit, refundable if we don't deliver — one tap in your profile.
