Professional networking platforms

We're bringing the 5-minute phone call back. It's how previous generations got shit done, had time for 5 meetings before breakfast, rarely misunderstood each other, connected with the world, and called strangers for help—with energy to spare for the evening.

Congratulations to the entire team for a successful launch! Very interesting idea and I will be sure to check it out. As part of your alpha, and beta tests, do you have any success stories or highlights from the conversations? Would love to know how you are trying to validate product market fit. Cheers!

@narenbhandary It's been an incredible journey. Our first MVP was an expert network, we then found that "advice" resonated better, and finally that the reason most called for advice was actually to network.

@narenbhandary I think the biggest highlight was when we realised that most of our early users really wanted to talk to peers rather than experts or celebrities. It makes sense; when setting out to achieve something, you want to talk to someone who's just 2-3 years ahead of you on the same journey. This idea of talking to your past or future self is so powerful – almost like a time machine.

I absolutely love this concept! 👏🏻 I was excited from the moment I read the tagline. I signed up immediately and, even though I haven't placed any calls yet, it looks like you have tons of interesting people in the network. To my slight disappointment, the Android app is a bit buggy… It doesn't feel like a native app and sometimes I click UI elements and nothing happens. The button on the top right reads “Don” instead of “Done” and the app closed and logged me out during the on-boarding because I let my screen turn off for a few seconds. As I was in the on-boarding screen where you add people to your favorites, I received a call that I couldn't answer because it was 2 AM and my family was sleeping. I had to hang up. Shouldn't the app ask about your availability first, before letting others call you? Or at least assume people are “unavailable” before they’ve completed the on-boarding. That said, the visuals are amazing and the app makes me want to use it. This was totally missing from the social media landscape and I'm glad it exists now!

@anna_0x Hey Anna, Sam here one of the cofounders of Anyone. Thank you for the great feedback. We'll be looking into the issue you had with getting the call during onboarding and getting that resolved. I really appreciate you checking Anyone out and hopefully we'll be on a call together soon. p.s. The Android feedback is great and we'll take that onboard.

Looks like an awesome idea - congrats! I went to try it but it comes up with the notice on Google Play saying "This item is not available in your country" - any ETA on a global roll out?

I’ve picked the brains of a marketing director at Facebook, media buyer at Mr Porter, and head of product at H&M, as well as getting paid to share tips about building e-commerce businesses - without having to really do… anything. Anyone is tech doing its thing to improve lives at its very best.

I love meeting new people, and Anyone has become a go-to app for that. I’ve easily made over 100 calls! A lot of young people find networking difficult, but being able to connect over quick phone calls makes it fun and simple. Excited to see the app open up to the public!

Review Anyone?

Reviewers mostly see Anyone as a simple, effective way to make short voice connections that lead to advice, fresh perspectives, collaboration, and sometimes real work opportunities. Users repeatedly praise the 5-minute call format for making networking feel less awkward, especially for younger or shy people, and say the app is easy to use with interesting, global conversations. The main concerns are practical rather than universal: limited regional availability, a still-small community, timing issues around call windows, and one clear objection that unannounced calls could invite spam or abuse.
