Three rules.
    Nothing else.

    We held the network to a high bar from day one. Here's exactly what that means in practice.

    01

    Vetted, not viral.

    Every member is reviewed for shipped work, references, and a track record of execution. We grow through reputation, kept tight on purpose. The network shrinks if it has to.

    • ·Resume or LinkedIn required at signup.
    • ·Manual review by the Polln8 team before access.
    • ·Resubmissions and audits whenever the signal drops.
    02

    Skill, not surface.

    Matching prioritizes complementary capability over background, school, or city. The right cofounder for a Rust infra startup is a senior systems engineer, not the loudest 'building in public' account.

    • ·ranked by AI recommendations based on your work, not your resume keywords.
    • ·Filters for skill and commitment first; geography second.
    • ·Profiles surface proof of work above credentials.
    03

    Decisive by design.

    Connect, pass, save. No likes, no maybes. Every interaction is a deliberate choice. Your time is the asset we protect most.

    • ·Three actions per profile and that's it.
    • ·Apply once with a real pitch, not a template.
    • ·Founders accept or reject; partners get a clear answer.
