Introductions, not networking

No mixers. No small talk. Just the women you should already know.

Kinhive isn’t a networking app. It’s an introduction app. If the word networking makes you want to cancel your plans, you’re in the right place: instead of a room full of strangers, you get a few introductions at a time, each with a note on what you have in common, so the first conversation feels like catching up, not pitching yourself.

Why you twoYou both left consulting to build something small and good, and you both prefer async to meetings.

ConnectNot a good fit

The problem

Most networking is built for people who love networking.

Name tags, elevator pitches, a hundred requests from people you’ll never talk to. If that drains you, you’re not bad at networking. You’ve just been offered the kind that doesn’t fit you.

How it works

How a Kinhive introduction works.

  1. Your profile5 of 9

    How do you like to communicate?

    Mostly asyncDepends on the taskReal-timeNo preference

    01

    Write it once, at your own pace

    A short profile about what you’re building and how you like to work. No elevator pitch, no performing.

  2. Hands reach into a bowl of popcorn on terrazzo beside a phone and an iced latte

    Both async, both building for parents

    02

    Get a few intros, not a crowd

    Kinhive brings you a handful of women at a time, picked for how well you’d fit, not how many people you can meet.

  3. Nadia R.

    Our intro said we both hate conference lanyards. Off to a strong start.

    Ha! Truly. What are you working on?

    03

    Start with something real

    Every intro says what you have in common, so the first message is easy to write and easy to answer.

ConnectNot a good fit

Your call, every time

Connect when you want. Pass when you don’t.

There’s no follower count to keep up and no feed of people to scroll. Say yes to the women you’d actually like to talk to. Nobody is told when you pass, and Kinhive learns from it.

  • Requests stay private until you both say yes
  • Only women you’ve both said yes to can message you
  • Pause your intros whenever you need a break

Low-key ways in

Get to know people without the spotlight.

Not every introduction starts with a conversation. Some start with working quietly in the same room, or answering the same question.

  • Cowork next to other women with no camera or microphone
  • Answer a one-line prompt instead of writing a bio
  • Ask the community anonymously when you’d rather not sign

Questions about introductions

Something else? support@kinhive.com

Is Kinhive a networking app?+
Not really. It’s an introduction app. There are no events to attend and no rooms to work. Kinhive introduces you to a few women at a time who fit how you work, tells you what you have in common, and lets you connect or pass in private.
Do I have to go to events or video calls?+
No. Everything happens in the app, at your pace. Cowork has no camera or microphone, and chat is text.
Will strangers message me out of the blue?+
No. A one-on-one chat only opens once you and the other woman both accept the connection. Requests stay private until then, and nobody is told if you pass.
How many intros will I get?+
A short list at a time, never an endless feed. New suggestions arrive as members join and update their profiles, and you can pause intros any time in Settings.
Is it free?+
Yes. Kinhive is free to use, forever.
