Selections — by Taaida

Opening in waves — Currently invite only

Word of Mouth. Organized.

Every good decision you’ve made — the doctor, the hotel, the person who fixed the thing — started with someone you trust saying “this one.” Selections lets you search your circle. Only people connected to you. Only with their name on it.

i.The problem § 01

Everything, Everywhere and Nowhere all at once.

The best restaurant you’ll eat at this year is sitting in a WhatsApp thread from March. The therapist who could actually help is a voice note you half-remember. The tailor, the pediatrician, the small hotel in Patagonia — buried in saved posts, screenshots, and conversations you can’t search.

The world’s most valuable recommendations have no home. So we ask again, forget again, and settle for the reviews of strangers.

ii.The opportunity § 02

A home for what your people already know.

Not reviews. Recommendations.

A review is written for strangers by strangers. A recommendation is made to you, by someone whose name is on it — and who will hear about it if they’re wrong. Selections only holds the second kind. Every answer arrives with who said it, what they said, and how they’re connected to you.

iii.How it works § 03
i.

Ask

Ask like you’d ask a friend. Plain words, real context: the city, the need, the nuance.

ii.

See who’s behind it

Every answer shows the chain: who recommended it, who connects you, and what they said in their own words. You’re not reading a rating. You’re reading Rafael, through your cousin.

Practical and kind. My brother finally sleeps again.

Keep & pass on

Save what’s worth keeping. Your recommendations become collections you can hand to someone — the Tokyo list for Ana, the doctors who listen, the gifts that land.

iv.

A search that only knows your people

§ 04
A therapist in São Paulo — speaks Portuguese, specializes in anxiety.

Three people in your circle have someone for this.

The thesis

§ 05

Organizing the world’s recommendations.

We started Selections because the best things in our lives — the doctor, the tailor, the small hotel, the book — all arrived the same way: someone we trust said “this one.”

Those two words deserve a home. We’re building it carefully. One recommendation at a time.
