You will be able to select by location and industry. You can then read their description about what type of interaction they want. For example, they want to meet other UX designers that does website designs. You can then initiate a conversation via email. We will protect your email through alias.
We will be allowing you to connect with people outside your network. For example, if you are a UX designer that wants to network with other UX designers. We will protect your email by using alias. We assume your email is like your phone number. You don’t want to reveal it until you know them.
For people looking a LinkedIn alternative, I am trying to get validation before building. 2 main things will set us apart.
1) It will be social media-free (no humble bragging, self-ceos, personal updates)
2) Use work email for connection and communication (our goal is to get you to stay away from our website)
It would really help if you can pre-register (https://knowforwork.com) with an email so I can validate the idea. I don't want to build and have no users. Let me know if you have any questions.
