ah, the quest for connection beyond the linkedin hustle. let's talk options.
ever heard of angellist? startup-centric, it's where founders meet investors and talent.
or maybe shapr? think of it as tinder for networking, without the awkward pickup lines.
guild is another. it's like whatsapp but for professionals. less noise, more conversation.
there's also meetup. not a traditional networking site, but in-person meetups? priceless.
twitter is underrated for professional connections. slide into those dm's, respectfully.
branch out to industry-specific networks. researchgate for academics. doximity for doctors.
facebook groups can be a goldmine. find one aligned with your industry.
don't overlook alumni networks. they're more powerful than most realize.
virtual conferences. not a 'network' but a hotspot for making professional connections.
explore, experiment, and find the one that resonates with you. happy networking.

@shajedulkarim_ angellist is no longer what it used to be :( now it's called wellfound, and since I work in a Recruiting agency I cannot be part of the network anymore... "if you are an external third-party recruiter or agency (including talent marketplaces), then you may not use the Site or the Services for any purpose."
@emilia_vicini oh no, it’s your company condition? 😢
Xing - German professional network!
I think Twitter (X) can be managed as a professional network. Its personal touch can help with connections.
