Kaffe helps you find the link you already have.

From a name to a plan.

Kaffe runs the loop. You show up and talk.

  1. Add who you are meeting

    Upload a screenshot, paste their profile text, or type what you know. Kaffe never scrapes LinkedIn.

  2. Find your warm link

    Kaffe ranks every link you share, like school, hometown, sport or club, and picks the strongest one to open with.

  3. Read your brief

    One page with their path, your shared links, questions for this chat and what to avoid. Plus a first message you send yourself.

  4. Rehearse out loud

    Bean plays someone with their background, by text or voice. You get a scorecard and one thing to fix.

  5. Debrief and follow up

    Log what happened in 60 seconds. Kaffe drafts your thank-you and nudges you when a follow-up is due.

Everything before and after the chat.

Always good to meet someone from BC. What would you like to know about the team?

Then a scorecard on six things.

  • Opener and intro
  • Question quality
  • Listening and follow-ups
  • Clarity
  • Pace and filler words
  • The ask

Kaffe tracks the weak spots that keep showing up, so you improve across many chats, not just one.

Pick the chat you are prepping for.

The brief, the questions and the ask change with the kind of chat.

The pair
A student and someone at a target firm, often an alum.
You want
Insight into the team and the recruiting process, and a warm contact before applications open.
The ask
A referral or a next conversation, timed to when it has been earned.

You stay in charge.

Kaffe preps you. You do the talking.

Common questions.

What is a coffee chat?

A casual one-on-one conversation with someone whose path you want to learn from, over coffee or on a call.

Who is Kaffe for?

Students from high school through about age 27, and early-career people. It covers internship, job and mentor chats.

Does Kaffe contact people for me?

No. Kaffe drafts messages and you send them yourself. There is no in-app messaging and no way to look up strangers.

Does it read my LinkedIn?

No. You add someone with a screenshot, pasted text or a few notes. Kaffe does not scrape or connect to LinkedIn.

Is it free?

Text practice is free. Every account also gets 15 minutes of voice practice each week.

Who is Bean?

Bean is the Kaffe mascot and the AI you talk to, from setting up your profile to rehearsing the chat.

Ready when they say yes.

Add one person and see what you have in common.
