We crafted this application because we saw something systematically wrong with the modern social media network. Essentially, modern networking and dating are broken concepts. In a society that has dozens of tools at its fingertips to connect with people, we are all still disconnected. Statistics show that there are almost 35 Million single-person households in the United States, a number that is far greater than decades ago. Young people are giving up in droves traditional, public view platforms, as they seek more privacy and authenticity in the circles. We found an existential crisis not only facing many in the US but across the globe. A crisis is exacerbated by the isolation and virtually of these new challenging times. 
 We created YAASS to put forth a solution to this problem. We felt that we can address the concerns to a large group of the population by giving them an intimate, private, and secure social network. Our company values honesty and integrity. We wanted to create a space where society can collaborate comfortably, with its set of tailored parameters. We believe that one’s friend, social group, or potential partner is out there. We wanted to bridge that gap. 
 YAASS is a first, all-inclusive, private social media experience. Users have the options to make certain parts of their profile non-visible, be selective on how professional credentials are shared, allow or not allow friends and families to make other profile suggestions, and much more!
