Connected rewards genuine knowledge over personal branding. Your authority score reflects verifiable expertise — publications, endorsed skills, signal posts — not the size of your following.
Professional networking, reimagined from the ground up.
Every post earns a signal score based on reactions from credible peers — not raw likes. Quality rises, noise sinks.
Authority scores reflect publications, validated skills, and peer endorsements. Not who you know — what you know.
Your data lives in Frankfurt, EU. No profiling ads, no selling your data to third parties, full transparency on every cookie.
Connect with peers who share your domain. Mutual endorsements and skill validation make every connection count.
When you're open to new opportunities, signal it privately. Relevant people see it — no public announcement needed.
The Trust Ring on your profile summarises your verified standing — from New to Authority. Earned, not bought.
From sign-up to recognised expert in four steps.
Build your profile
Add your work experience, education, publications and skills. The more verifiable detail you add, the higher your initial authority score.
Post with substance
Share insights, research, professional observations. Every post gets a signal score based on reactions from credible members in your domain.
Earn peer validation
Connect with colleagues and let them endorse your skills. Endorsements from high-authority members carry more weight in your score.
Grow your authority
Your Trust Ring evolves as your expertise is recognised. From Emerging → Credible → Strong → Expert → Authority.
