Build Your Network

Intent based networking

What it does

BYN helps founders, operators, and ambitious professionals connect based on intent. Instead of endless cold DMs or random networking, users can discover people actively looking for: • co-founders • mentors • startup collaborators • investors • business partners • early team members BYN focuses on high-signal matchmaking through intent tags, trust scores, startup interests, and discovery-first networking. Built for startup ecosystems where the right connection matters more than follower count.

    As someone who struggles with social anxiety, expanding my network through traditional means has always been challenging. I found existing networking apps either too spammy (LinkedIn) or too much like professional dating (Bumble Bizz), and they just didn’t work for me. About a year ago, I developed a matching system for a local startup accelerator. This system connected founders, mentors, and investors based on industries, skills, and job functions, facilitating over 5,000 meetings that led to some amazing outcomes.

    Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
