Simple 4-Step Guide
How Kradoz Works
Kradoz is a swipe-based networking app: from setup to your first mutual connection in under two minutes, with no cold outreach in either direction.
- Step 1: Authenticate with LinkedIn
100% Verified Professional Identity
Log in securely using your LinkedIn account. Kradoz verifies your current job title, company affiliation, academic history, and mutual connections automatically so every profile in your feed is authentic.
- Step 2: Choose Your Primary Goal
Define What You're Seeking
Select from goal categories: "Find Technical Co-Founder", "Open to Mentorship", "Academic & Lab Research", or "Early-Career Networking". Kradoz matching algorithm prioritizes intent alignment over vanity titles.
- Step 3: Browse Verified Cards & Boost Notes
Swipe Right to Invite or Send a Boost
Swipe right on profiles that match your vision. Want to stand out? Attach a 140-character Boost Note detailing your specific proposal or common interest. If you skip someone by accident, use Reverse Skip to bring them back!
- Step 4: Double Opt-In Connection Unlocked
Direct Chat & Meeting Scheduling
When both members swipe right (or accept a Boost Note), chat unlocks instantly! You can start exchanging messages, share portfolio links, or schedule a 15-minute intro call. Zero cold sales spam, guaranteed.

Inside a Swipe-Based Networking App
Swiping has a reputation problem in professional contexts, largely because it is associated with speed rather than judgement. The mechanic is not the point. What matters is that a swipe is a private signal: it commits you to nothing, it is not visible to the other person unless they signal back, and it costs neither party anything when the answer is no.
That is the whole reason a swipe-based networking app can work where a directory cannot. In an open network, expressing interest means sending a message, which is public, effortful, and creates an obligation to respond. Making interest cheap and private is what allows both sides to be honest about it.
What Happens After You Swipe on a Swipe-Based Networking App
Nothing, until the other person swipes too. There is no notification of a one-sided swipe, no read receipt, and no queue of pending requests to manage. When both sides swipe, a chat opens and you are talking to someone who has already agreed to the conversation.
Boost Notes exist for the cases where context matters — attaching a sentence explaining why you are reaching out, which the other person sees before deciding. Teleportation Hubs let you swipe into another city ahead of a trip, so meetings are arranged before you arrive.
Identity is verified through LinkedIn before any profile enters the pool. The feature list covers filters and verification in detail, the Safety Center explains reporting and unmatching, and pricing confirms that matching costs nothing.
