Generosity, made measurable.

Our mission

Make generosity visible and measurable — so a referral, a mentor call, or an intro becomes part of a traceable chain instead of disappearing into inboxes and Slack DMs. We believe every referral, introduction, and mentorship conversation creates value that deserves to be measured — not just felt.

Our vision

Become the system of record for relationship-driven professional outcomes. The layer that LinkedIn is missing — one that doesn't just show you who you know, but tracks what you've done for them, what they've done for you, and the real-world outcomes those connections produced.

Our technology

Pay It Forward is built on agentic AI architecture. Unlike traditional apps that wait for you to act, our three AI agents — the Gratitude Scout, Chain Orchestrator, and Impact Narrator — work autonomously to detect moments of gratitude, prepare your next action, and tell the story of your impact. Every agent action requires your approval — we believe in AI that empowers, never AI that overrides.

Founder

Mir — Founder

Builder, problem-solver, and believer in the ripple effect of small acts. I started Pay It Forward after a leader helped me with a job referral and asked for nothing in return — just to pay it forward. That moment changed how I think about generosity, and I built this platform so that no act of kindness disappears into silence. I'm based in New Jersey and building this in the open.

Joining early

We’re small and building in the open. If the mission resonates and you’d like to help, we’d love to hear from you — we don’t have a formal role to point you at yet, just a short list of problems we’re working through.

Advisors

Interested in advising? We’re open to informal conversations with operators, researchers, or people leaders who have thought hard about referrals, mentorship, or workplace kindness. Get in touch.
