LinkedIn can be a bit of a mixed bag, with all the spammy recruiter messages and cringy content.

Sometimes it feels like just staying away from it would be better. But, it's also a great way to stay in touch with people you know and meet new ones who could really help you out at some point in your career

We think there is room for a platform that enables people to connect and network without the fluff that has turned LinkedIn into the worst type of social media platform.

Let us know what you think!

Cool project. But I think dropping an F-bomb on the landing page may be a turn-off for some people. Also, the layout of this list seems off (not a designer though...maybe someone else can chime in)

  1. Expand your network authentically: Connect with people who share your interests and aspirations
  2. Unlock work opportunities: Find new jobs, partnerships, and collaborations. Find the people you need to accelerate your dreams.
  3. Learn and grow: Access valuable insights and knowledge from a diverse community. Fly around the world and meet the people that will empower you.
  4. It's free: You have nothing to lose. Try it out, the more people we get on this platform, the more benefits we'll all have from it. Enjoy the core features for free and opt for premium benefits if you choose.
  5. Trustworthy community: Connect with professionals who value genuine relationships and are looking for opportunities to connect.
  6. Personalized Recommendations: Receive connections and content tailored to your interests.
  7. You are in control: Choose how you want to grow. Connect with those that matter to you.
  8. Get inspired: Find the people in your field that inspire you, and who knows maybe work together.
  9. Stop wasting time: No more Instagram stories asking your followers for help.
  10. JustConnect.

I’m not a corporate person but you’re right. I think the whole first sentence is kinda “how do you do, fellow cool guys 😎 (fuck corporate amirite?)”

On the other hand it might self select people for a while

Just copy linkedin and bam virtue signalling and add a community cringe meter and you should be good to go
