Polywork - Discover opportunities to collaborate

Hey Product Hunt 👋 Polywork Founder here! Just over a year ago, we launched Polywork in invite-only beta and the reaction was more than we could have ever expected. We even ended up with the word ‘polywork’ in the dictionary last Christmas!🎅 One year later, we’re launching Polywork publicly for everyone. We started Polywork because we were frustrated by the limited ways existing professional networks allow us to express ourselves i.e. they focus on job titles and schools attended. Furthermore, they focus their platforms on connecting people to full time opportunities only. This has made it really hard to express ourselves online today as professionals and connect and collaborate with others professionals.For example, what if you want to find product designers open to partnering on side projects? Or find founders open to speaking on your podcast? Where do you go? In order to solve this, the first phase in our journey last year was launching our single player product called Polywork Pages: a place to express all the things you do, (see my poly.me/peter page here). We have 100s of thousands of amazing professionals from Figma, Airbnb, Snapchat, Github and more using Polywork to showcase what they do. 🚀 Today, we’re introducing our multiplayer product - a place to discover opportunities to collaborate. Want to partner on a side project? Speak on a podcast? Maybe join a cycling group with other product designers? Or check out which professionals at Airbnb or Google are open to angel investing? We’ve been hard at work building an experience that helps professionals connect and collaborate with anyone, on anything. We’re excited for The Product Hunt Community to check it out and would love any feedback you can give on how we can improve Polywork! P.S. Coming up next: ✨ - Better personalization of opportunities - Improved Messenger UX - Clubs: private spaces for like-minded professionals to connect and exchange ideas. Beta is live! - iOS app: coming soon - What do you think we should build next? A lot of our favorite things about Polywork came from our community. Would love to keep that going - drop us your ideas.

OK, this is my fave product so far. Awesome idea, I can really see the potential! 👏

I’ve been using Polywork for over a year now (poly.me/sean), and I love the clarity of vision and focus on fostering community. Polywork helped me embrace that my career wasn’t as linear or focused as some perfectly manicured LinkedIn MBAs (you know, the ones). I love how ✨ everywhere✨my work is, and it’s nice to have a place to show that off finally. Looking forward to seeing the platform continue to evolve!

I've been using polywork for a year now and I love it! I use it mostly to document most of my activities as a developer and I love how organized it is. From the highlights section, to share opportunities, I love it! Cheers to the team behind this wonderful product. You have my support 🤩🤩🤩

Congrats 🎉!! I’ve been beta testing since the start of last year and still can’t believe what Polywork has become. I got to test new exciting apps and meet amazing people who gave me a hand when I so needed. And all this without ever feeling less cool or popular than anyone - the lack of pressure from likes/public followers is seriously one of Polywork’s best features. Can’t wait to see what the future brings!

I'm a startup founder based in NYC and I've been using Polywork for over a year. Love the design interface and growing community. Collaboration is a cool new way to find opportunities and I'm excited to see how the product continues to improve! Love it!

I've been using Polywork for what seems like forever now, and it's an awesome way to showcase and organize the work you do that would be too verbose for a LinkedIn description. I'm super looking forward to an API, import/export of data, and backdating current ongoing projects!

I have been using Polywork for more than a year now. It's the only platform I can represent myself fully. All other platforms forced me to create a specific persona while leaving out some aspects of my life and what I like. On Polywork, I don't need to niche down in any topic. The only niche is me! And I frickin' love it! I love how it helped me to showcase what I do without any self-judgment. Additionally, it helped me connect to fantastic folks that I didn't know before. I invited these people to my podcast as well. I loved it so much that I joined the Polywork community and became a Polynaut advisor. Rock on, Polywork! Keep evolving as you do every day!

Polywork is an eye-candy in terms of UX. Wishing all the best to the team, would be happy to connect with anyone who worked on such a marvellous product!

Congratulations on the launch ❤️ Polywork is an amazing platform for founders and makers, highly recommend it to everyone!

Congratulations!! Been using it for a while (https://www.polywork.com/uxderrick) and I love the product! I can't wait to see how huge we become!

Very interesting. I would love to try this. Congratulations @multiplay3r

I am super excited - I've been probably in the first 50 users of the platform and it's been so exciting to see it grow over time https://www.polywork.com/tomzorz 🔥🔥

Congrats @multiplay3r & team, been using Polywork since May of 2021, and absolutely love it! Grat work!

I was lucky enough to join Polywork in 2020. What a game changer! I love the way I can post about different things I do (without worrying about likes) and present them to the world. I have ADHD, I do a lot of things and other pages force me to "niche down" to "grow" 🫠 You can easily see at https://poly.me/jesper You may be wondering why I keep another social media around and I wondered the same. But it's the same reason I keep a website. It's a space where I can be the whole me, and I am a lot. So far I've been loving every update even. Which isn't a given these days. In fact I even had chats about the multiplayer experience with Peter and Amanda separately, despite me just being a rando on the internet! And then there's the multiplayer experience slowly growing. Candost reached out to me for a podcast episode over the Polywork collaborate feature and I had a few others who wanted to talk about machine learning. All really lovely connections I truly appreciate. Been a really nice experience so far and I look forward where this grows. Congrats to the big launch! 🎉🎉🎉

Really helpful product! Congratulations!

Joined polywork @ the very early stages of the product. Loveed the journey till now. The use case of polywork is very vast but it makes collaboration easier than ever. I just add all my work - everything I do professionally on my polywork timeline. Kudos to the team and advisors! 💜

I've been lucky enough to be an early user of Polywork, and it's a great platform. I'm also a club founder, and it has the great potential to reimagine how communities form and find each other. I'm super excited that it's now available to everyone.

I was a relatively early-adopter of it and I admit I was skeptical at first. I really like the platform now. I'm definitely not leveraging all of the features, but I really love having a single profile where I can showcase my diverse interests, creations, and collaborative works. Looking forward to exploring more about the possibilities for collaboration in the future! The team is led by some smart people who really want this product to be the best it can be, and I am excited to see where it goes.

Wow! Cool product. Congrats on the launch 🚀
