How it works

Five steps from sign up to a trusted introduction.

Nothing here is hidden. This page lists exactly what happens and in which order.

  1. Step 1

    Create an account with email, Google or LinkedIn. Pick a unique username. You must be 18 or older.

The two tiers

Tier 1: Verified

Shows that a real person stands behind the profile. The badge is blue.

  • You send a link to your professional profile, such as LinkedIn.
  • A company also proves it owns its website with a code sent to an email on that website.
  • An AI model and then our team review what you sent.

Tier 1 is required to send connection requests.

Tier 2: Registered

Shows that a venture or an individual is on an official record. The badge is saffron.

  • You send proof from an official registry, such as a company number or a registry page.
  • We check that the proof matches the name on your profile.
  • Our team confirms it before the badge appears.

Tier 2 builds on Tier 1.
