YASAD Connect

YASAD Connect is a private platform for members of YASAD, the Turkish Software Industrialists Association. You join it by invitation.

There is no sign-up form. The association adds your email address to the invited list of a matchmaking group. You type that address into the app and a six-digit code arrives. There is no password.

A matchmaking group is a closed circle: a summit, a programme, a partnership network. Everything you see in the app stays inside it.

DISCOVER
Filter the people and companies in your group by the services they offer, the solutions they are looking for, their sector and their city. A company profile carries its sector, what it provides, what it needs, and the colleagues who are on the platform with it. This is not an event agenda. What you are looking for is not a session time. It is the person who will sit across from you.

CONNECT
Send a connection request to someone you want to reach. Messaging stays closed until they accept it.

MESSAGE
Once the request is accepted, the conversation opens. You can also start a shared room with several people from the same group. The conversation stays inside the app, and your email address and phone number are not handed over automatically.

MEET
Send a meeting request and propose the day, the time, the place, and whether you will sit down in person or online. When the other side accepts, the meeting appears on both lists. Upcoming and past meetings live in one place, and a meeting you accept can be written to your phone's calendar.

YOUR ACCOUNT
If you use more than one work address, link them all to a single account. Each one brings its own invitations with it. Notifications are switched on and off one at a time. You can mute a conversation, archive it, block a member, and report behaviour to the association. When you meet someone in person, you hand over your card as a QR code.

GROUP SCOPE
You only see the people and companies in the groups you belong to. Someone who does not share a matchmaking group with you cannot see your profile, and cannot send you a connection request or a message. This is the platform's single access rule and it is enforced on the server.

The app runs in Turkish and English.
