haih (pronounced “hey”) connects people who buy with people who sell. A person verifies everyone, and buyers keep control of their data. Here’s why it exists and how verification works, including what it doesn’t do yet.
We started haih because we sell for a living, and we’ve watched outreach from both sides: writing it, and deleting it.
The tools got better every quarter. The trust got worse every quarter. AI didn’t cause that. It made it cheap enough to do to everyone at once. And AI has never closed a deal, because sales comes down to relationships: two people pointed at the same outcome, finding each other.
That’s what we’re building: a place where the people who should be talking actually find each other.
A badge is only worth what it costs to get. Most of them cost nothing: connect an account, pass a domain check, and the checkmark appears. Ours is granted by a person, and it can be taken back by one.
Here is the entire mechanism, including the part we haven’t built. If this page ever claims more than the product does, the dot stops meaning anything.
Every request to join is read and approved or declined by a human. Today that person is us, because there are still few enough of you that it’s possible.
No integration, no purchase, and no amount of activity earns a green dot automatically. Somebody decides.
Verification is revocable. Lose it and you lose the placement and the match weighting that came with it.
Verification is not re-validated on a schedule today. When that changes, this line changes with it, and it will say when.
A person’s professional identity should not be the property of whoever is currently paying them. Your profile, your preferences, the relationships you build here belong to the person, not the employer.
Change jobs and they come with you. The alternative is the one that already exists: your identity scattered across databases you don’t control, going stale the moment you move, rebuilt from nothing at every new desk. Access should be earned, not purchased.
