Anyone remember polywork.com ?

Their tagline was "Your professional network"

They closed in early 2025

LinkedIn may suck.

Let me retract that.

It definitely sucks (For me - it sucks because of non-professional posts in the feed. memes, political rants, funny pics etc.)

But there are good parts as well.

The most important thing going on for them is they have network effect.

Everyone (and their grandma, as they say) is on LinkedIn

When I was interviewing, I used to check the LinkedIn profile for the candidate as well. (Lot of times, after the interview in case I had good things to say in my feedback form)

Having said that - Best wishes to OpenSpot.
