Welcome to the shortlist

You must be pretty good friends with Ballio.

Because somehow you ended up here, on the very short list of people who know about TheKnow before anyone else.

Here's the problem we're solving:

Yelp and Google Maps doesn't measure quality. It measures popularity. A 4.2 star restaurant means thousands of strangers agreed on something, but those strangers aren't you. Their perfect taco spot might be your "meh."

Here's what TheKnow does instead:

It finds your taste matches, real people whose restaurant opinions actually align with yours. Not influencers. Not crowds. Just people who eat like you do.

When your taste match rates a place 4.5, you'll probably love it too. It's like borrowing the restaurant list from a friend with impeccable taste, except the algorithm found that friend for you.

My ask for you right now:

Rate the spots you know well. Be honest! Your ratings train the system to find your people.

Is it perfect?

Nope. This is beta. Things will break. But with your help, we'll get it dialed in.

Welcome to TheKnow. I'm happy you're here.
