haih (pronounced “Hey”) is a verified door between the people who buy and the people who sell. This page is why it exists and exactly how the verification works — including what it doesn’t do yet.
I sell for a living, and have for more than ten years. Which means I've watched this from both sides — writing the outreach, and deleting it.
The tools got better every quarter. The trust got worse every quarter. AI didn't cause that. It just made it cheap enough to do to everyone at once. And AI has never closed a deal — it never will, because sales comes down to relationships. Two people pointed at the same outcome, finding each other.
That's the whole thing we're building. Not a better way to reach you. A place where the people who should be talking actually do.
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.
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 — they 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. A person's attention is not an addressable market.
