Meet the founders
Co-founder · Amsterdam
Yvette builds the systems other people rely on without ever seeing. Her work lives at the intersection of technology and AI, where she's spent years making the complicated feel effortless - an instinct that translates directly to Seven. She's also the friend you text from another time zone to ask where to eat, and she'll have an answer. For Yvette, the best advice was always going to come from people you love and trust.
Co-founder · Arlington
Monique is a marketer who's built her career around one question: what makes people connect? She's spent years turning campaigns into relationships and partnerships into real community. A relentless traveler, Monique plans every trip the same way she makes most decisions: by texting the people she trusts. Seven is that instinct, turned into an app.
The problem
Somewhere along the way, finding a good place became a chore. We stopped asking the people we trust and started scrolling through strangers' reviews, star ratings, and sponsored posts - sifting hundreds of opinions from people who don't know us to find one we can actually believe. The best recommendation has always come from a friend. We just made it harder to hear.
The solution
Seven brings recommendations back to where they belong - the people who know you. Share the spots you love, discover the ones your friends swear by, and keep them all in one place instead of scattered across a dozen group chats. No strangers, no algorithms, no noise. Just the people you'd text anyway, and the good stuff they've been meaning to tell you.
