Professional networking, with a clear purpose
The Bumble Bizz Alternative Built Only for Work
Kradoz is a Bumble Bizz alternative for founders, mentors and researchers. There is no dating mode to switch out of. Both people swipe right before any message can be sent.
Why Kradoz
Built Around What You Want to Achieve
Professional networking becomes more useful when both people understand why the connection matters. Kradoz makes intent part of the experience, helping you discover people based on the type of connection you are looking for—not just their professional profile.

Choosing a Bumble Bizz Alternative: What Actually Changes
Bumble Bizz sat inside a dating app as a mode you switched into. That design brought a familiar swipe, but it also brought habits that do not belong at work. Anyone comparing a Bumble Bizz alternative is usually reacting to that mix.
One app, one purpose
Kradoz does professional matching only. There is no dating mode beside it, so nobody arrives expecting one. Consequently the tone stays consistent, and profiles read like work profiles.
Intent is explicit as well. You choose co-founder, mentor or research partner first, and the filters follow that choice. Founders sort by tech stack, commitment level and equity expectations. Researchers sort by domain and funding stage.
Consent is the mechanism, not a setting
Both people must swipe right before a chat opens. Therefore no pitch lands in your inbox uninvited, and no message queue builds while you are away.
Every account also verifies through LinkedIn login. So you can see who someone is before you answer. If a conversation stops working, you can unmatch quietly, and the other person gets no alert.
Is this Bumble Bizz alternative free?
Yes. Matching, double opt-in chat and verification stay free. In addition, no paid upgrade grants the power to message a stranger, because that power does not exist here at any price.
