Professional Networking Platform
The Challenge
Young professionals found traditional networking platforms outdated and focused on job hunting rather than genuine relationship building. getLinked wanted to create a fresh alternative that made professional networking feel natural, emphasizing skill-sharing, mentorship, and authentic connections over transactional relationships.
Our Solution
We designed and developed a modern networking platform that combines professional profiles with community features like skill exchanges, virtual coffee chats, and industry-specific groups. The platform uses smart matching algorithms to connect users with complementary skills and shared interests.
