I’m Jeremy, one of the co-founders of People Net (YC W24). We’re building an AI search engine for people (https://www.thepeoplenet.com/).

Currently, search engines view the Internet as a collection of webpages. So unless you search for someone’s name, most “people search” queries fail [1].

At the People Net, we’re making every person on the Internet easy to find.

Our first step is a Twitter profile search that actually works.

Current Progress: 0.08% of internet citizens indexed (4mil / ~5.5bil)
