Matching Architecture & Platform Capabilities
Engineered for High-Intent Professional Discovery
Double opt-in networking replaces noisy, open-door social feeds with purpose-built matching, so a conversation only starts when both people have chosen it.
Core Architecture
Double Opt-In Consent Engine
Messaging unlocks strictly when both parties swipe right on each other. Cold sales outreach and unsolicited pitches are blocked before they reach your inbox.
- 100% Mutual Consent Guaranteed
- Skipped profiles are never notified
Authenticity
LinkedIn Identity Authentication
Every profile requires LinkedIn OAuth verification. As a result, official job titles, company backgrounds, and education credentials carry over directly to protect network trust.
- Zero anonymous bot profiles
- Display mutual connections
Global Mobility
Teleportation Discovery Hubs
Pre-build your network in major innovation centers worldwide. Then switch discovery feeds instantly between Silicon Valley, NYC, London, Boston, and global AI hubs.
- 6 major tech & research hubs
- Ideal for remote co-founder search
Impact Intro
Boost Notes (140-Char Pitches)
Attach a short introductory note directly to your invitation. The recipient then sees your custom pitch on their profile card before deciding to accept.
- 3x higher match rate
- Highlight specific collaboration idea
Full Control
Reverse Skip & Reverse Connect
Made a mistake? Then restore skipped profiles back to your deck. You can also disconnect gracefully at any time with total unmatch control.
- Undo accidental left swipes
- Silent, instant unmatching
Precision Matching
Intent & Skill Search Filters
Filter by exact goals: "Find Technical Co-Founder", "Open to Mentor", "Academic Co-Authoring", or "Angel Investment".
- Technical stack & domain tags
- Startup stage & availability

Why Double Opt-In Networking Outperforms Traditional Directories
Traditional networks rely on open-inbox broadcasting, so your messages fill up with cold sales emails and recruiter templates. Kradoz, by contrast, enforces mutual opt-in consent — which means 100% of your incoming messages represent real, high-value opportunities.
How Double Opt-In Networking Works
A directory lets anyone contact anyone. That sounds like openness, but only until you are on the receiving end of it. Then the only rational response is to stop reading. Double opt-in networking removes the asymmetry: there is no channel to you until you have opened one.
In practice the sequence is short. First, you set a goal — co-founder, mentor, research partner, or hire. Kradoz then shows you profiles that match that goal and your filters, and you swipe. If the other person swipes too, a conversation opens. If they do not, however, nothing happens and neither of you is notified. In short, no pitch is written, no rejection is issued, and no inbox fills up.
Double Opt-In Networking and Verified Profiles
Consent only means something if the person on the other side is real. Every Kradoz profile is verified through LinkedIn before it can appear in anyone else’s stack, so the role, company, and history you match against are checkable rather than self-declared.
The rest of the feature set exists to make that first match more accurate: goal-based filters so you see founders when you want founders, Boost Notes for adding context to a swipe, and Teleportation Hubs for matching into a city before you travel to it.
The How it Works page walks through the sequence step by step, while Kradoz vs. LinkedIn compares the model with an open directory. In addition, the Safety Center covers reporting and verification, and pricing confirms that matching and verification are free.
