About Us
YetKnown is a community-powered platform built for real-life connection.
While the internet has connected the world, we believe it’s your local community that truly empowers you. That’s why YetKnown focuses on local events and shared goals and experiences — not endless feeds or passive scrolling. We help you discover what truly matters about the people around you: what they care about, what they’re seeking, and what they can offer.
With a thoughtfully designed profile and event system, along with fine-grained visibility controls, YetKnown makes it easier for everyone — not just group organizers like on other platforms — to stay connected with acquaintances and friends, and to deepen those connections through meaningful collaboration offline.
Whether it’s joining an event together or finding a co-founder for your passion project, YetKnown helps uncover the richness that’s always been nearby — but not Yet Known.

Connection Levels
You have fine-grained control over who can see what by thoughtfully assigning connection levels:
Acquaintance
Someone you have met and talked with before. We discourage connecting to someone you haven't met in person yet.
Friends
Someone you've met more than once and know the basics about each other.
Close Friends
Someone you can trust and count on, who has earned your trust to a certain degree.
* Here are just some basic suggestions. You decide ultimately who you would call friend.
Event Visibility
If you can see an event, it means you are invited!
Sequential Order
Visibility follows a sequential order of importance. E.g. Your close friends will be able to see your events with friend-level visibility; your friends will see your events created for acquaintances.
Community Event
When you create an event with Community visibility, your connections (acquaintances, friends, close friends) will see it right away after its creation. Once it is reviewed and approved, it will be pushed to other users (not in your connection) selectively and smartly.
Tips
Please be thoughtful about what you share. Avoid posting overly sensitive personal information. For example, if you're creating a community event, choose a public location. If it's a friends-only event, simply saying "at my apartment" is enough — your friends will know where or ask.
Profile Page Attribute Visibility
We engineered a sophisticated visibility control to help you design who can see what on your profile page. So you can share who you are to your friends and to the world confidently.
Sequential Order
Visibility follows a similar sequential order as for Events.
Matching Tag
In addition to the sequential order, if the Only visible to folks with the same Tag box is checked, only users with the exact same tag (case-insensitive) for some time period can see this tag attribute.
Community Event Review Result
Only Community events need be reviewed. After approval, they will be released to all local users selectively. You will get email notification about the review result.
Approved
It will be pushed to local users' calendar and email feeds selectively.
Promoted
It will be pushed to local users' calendar and email feeds extensively.
Blocked
It will only be pushed to your connections' calendar and email feeds, not tp users beyond your connection.
Ticket Sell & Payment
Event ticket purchase is securely handled by Stripe Checkout. YetKnown never sees or stores your credit card or other financial information.
When you sell tickets, Stripe's standard fee (2.9% + $0.30 per transaction) applies. YetKnown charges 0 fee on your first $2000 total ticket sales. After that, a 2% fee will apply.
