About Meeno
Backed by Sequoia Capital, AI Fund & NEA, and founded by the former CEO of Tinder, Meeno helps people build real-world social courage through voice-based practice: 1-minute scenes, instant scoring, and personalized feedback.
Not a dating app. Not a companion. Not therapy. IRL reps to help Gen Z meet people IRL.
