Tabaiba is an intentional platform + community designed to help you connect with real people β€” with intention, care, and no rush. Whether you're looking for friendship, dating or collaboration, here connections take their time. 3 NEW PROFILES EVERY THURSDAY Each week you receive 3 carefully selected profiles. No endless swiping. Just three people you might truly connect with. THE TABAIBA ENGINE: CONNECTIONS WITH MEANING Your profile is built from your name, age, location, photo, and a brief onboarding questionnaire about habits and life goals. Based on that, we suggest meaningful matches. If you activate PREFERENCES (available in Plus and Founding Member plans), you can filter by age, gender, intention and distance to get more aligned proposals. CONVERSATIONS HAPPEN THROUGH LETTERS - You write a letter and send it to the other person. - The thread is locked until the other person replies. - If they don’t reply before next Thursday, the thread is archived. - If they reply, the thread remains open without time limits. This helps reduce pressure and encourages a more thoughtful exchange. MULTIPLE CONVERSATIONS You can talk to several people at once β€” always one message per thread. This rhythm invites care in each letter. YOUR FIRST LETTER MATTERS A meaningful first letter can open real doors. Avoid plain β€œhi” messages. Instead, share something about yourself or ask something interesting. THE FOUNDING MEMBER: OFFLINE EXPERIENCES By joining as a Founding Member, you get access to: - A private WhatsApp group to keep in touch between events - Preferences to fine-tune the algorithm AVAILABLE PLANS - FREE: Receive 3 profiles every Thursday and send unlimited letters. - PLUS: Add filters to personalize your matches. - FOUNDING MEMBER: Everything above + access to events and private community.
