Meet Anyone.
I’ve always believed that opportunities come when you have the skills and right network.
The cost of skills is falling; digital education, skill based hiring & professional certifications make it cheaper to retrain and have help closed the “skills gap”. However, without credentials to rely on, employers & investors increasingly use networks to filter who to meet. Networking is a system filled with friction and bias and the further emphasis on networking means the “network gap” will only grow.
Meet Anyone was an exploration to find a skill-based system of networking. An investor or employer could create a set of filters to meet people. They could be rule based (worked 10+ years in Artificial Intelligence) or require more complex summarization (enters 7 links on quality products you have created). Notes that passed the criteria would go through.
