About

Proximity Clips of people nearby who have Link — on your phone today, on AR glasses next. Text-only feed, jobs, and Letters.

Features

Problem
Nearby professional encounters are easy to miss.
How it works
When someone using Link walks by, their Clip can land on the user’s lock screen; glasses can expand a person’s Clip through gaze.
Result
Users can decide who is worth approaching before starting an IRL conversation.
Why
Turns physical proximity into a contextual introduction while keeping Discovery opt-in.
Problem
Cold outreach and face scanning create awkward or privacy-heavy networking.
How it works
Users open a nearby person’s Clip to see who they are, then meet them in person; Discovery keeps users invisible until turned on.
Result
Networking starts with an informed, consent-based in-person interaction.
Why
Provides context for an introduction without relying on cold DMs or face scans.
Problem
Professional feeds can prioritize ads and broad algorithmic reach over chosen connections.
How it works
The network is text-only, limits posts to 500 characters, has no reposts, and defaults to a chronological Following tab; Discover is optional.
Result
A more focused professional feed with less incentive for engagement farming.
Why
Keeps attention on people a user chose to follow.
Problem
Unverified strangers and message-credit systems can enable spam.
How it works
Messaging is uncapped, while stranger DMs require government-ID verification; the blue check represents an ID and matching-selfie check.
Result
Members can message without credits while adding verification for unfamiliar contacts.
Why
Uses identity verification rather than message quotas as the trust gate.
Problem
Paid members may still encounter advertising.
How it works
Pro removes Sponsored units and adds profile-view visibility and an extended Clip.
Result
Members get fewer interruptions and more context around nearby and profile interactions.
Why
Creates a paid, ad-free experience with networking-focused upgrades.
