Who we are

About Y99

We built a place where people can talk openly, stay anonymous, and connect without the usual friction.

Founded in 2024, Y99 started with a simple idea: talking to strangers should be easy, safe, and genuinely fun. No sign-up walls. No creepy data collection. Just real conversations between real people.

We believe the best connections happen when you least expect them — in a random room with someone you'd never meet otherwise. That's the spirit we built Y99 around.

Our mission

Why we exist

Make connection effortless

Every click should lead somewhere. Every room should be one tap away. We strip away everything that stands between you and a good conversation.

Respect every voice

Whether you're from Tokyo or Toronto, a beginner or fluent in five languages, your perspective matters. The rooms reflect that.

Privacy is not negotiable

We don't sell data. We don't track behavior. We don't require personal info. Your chats are yours and yours alone.
