About Passa

The best places you have been to, the shows you could not stop talking about, the barber you would never leave: most of them came from someone you know. A friend at dinner, a coworker, your mom. That kind of recommendation is worth more than any review, because you know who said it and why you trust them.

And most of it gets lost. It goes into a notes app with no context, a screenshot you will never find, or a group chat that scrolls away. When you finally want somewhere good to eat, you remember that someone told you about a place, and nothing else.

What Passa does

Passa is a home for those recommendations. You save one the moment you hear it, by texting 855-94-PASSA or on the site, in your own words. Passa keeps the name, who told you, where it is and the tip, sorts it onto a shelf, and hands it back when you need it: by text, by search, or with Tonight, which picks from what your friends recommended most.

How we think about it

• The person is the point. Who told you is the reason a rec is worth keeping, so it is never an afterthought.
• Saving has to be faster than forgetting. No app to install and no form to fill in. A text, or one box on the site.
• Plain and quiet. We do not fill your phone with texts. Reply STOP at any time and they stop.
• Good recs should travel. Passing one on to a friend takes a tap, and they can keep it too.

Local businesses

Barbers, trainers, restaurants and shops already live on word of mouth. Passa gives them a page that shows how many people saved them, and a card for the counter that makes saving them easy. Passa for Business has the details.
