Toms Ce discusses a concept for a networking app, 'Tinder for networking,' aimed at tech events and crypto communities. Users create profiles, swipe, match, and DM to connect. Features include contact cards, CRM integration, voice notes, and export options, with expansion plans to larger networks and monetization via event fees or freemium models. The app can be built quickly for use at tech events.

Someone should build a networking app

Time

June, 2024

Networking is key but tough for most


  • Networking is hard for introverts.

  • Daily networking requires high intent or a solid cold DM something many shy away from.


Someone should build http://net.app. aka- Tinder for networking to break the initial engagement barriers.


First Version Focus: IRL Tech Events & Crypto Communities

  • Available through an invite code.

  • You receive a link to create a profile with a bio, socials, what you're looking for, and a pic.

  • Swipe through accounts, match, and DM people.


Why will this work?

  • This eliminates the friction of having to manually scroll through everyone's accounts. 

  • Helps you see if people actually want to chat with you/ have an interest in what you're doing.


Further features

  • People near me: see contact card

  • Iphone like Contact Airdrop: twitter, telegram, calendly, bio, picture

  • Seamless in-app CRM: add and sort people

  • Voice-to-text notes: add context what you talked about after adding someone to CRM/ contact

  • Full list of all attendees

  • DMs: or mandantory telegram/ other app connect to DM

  • Export: CRM to CSV or other sheet types

  • Others: depending on event



Expansion Idea:

  • Roll out to larger communities and networks.

  • Daily use case: Swipe through hundreds of profiles to find relevant connections.


Biz Model & Scaling:

  • This is a lifestyle biz.

  • Monetizable via monthly or one-time event organizer fees, or a freemium model offering access to premium networking opportunities.

  • This can turn into one of these: conference app/ small social network.


Build, Test & Design:

  • A good solo builder could launch this at an IRL tech party/ event in a week or two by making this into a mobile web app for the start. 

  • Copy @hinge@amoamoamo but make it less "cozy" and more tech like.
