Networking without the noise

Built around finding the right connections.

Traditional professional networks are built around having as many connections as possible. Hi5 is built around finding the right ones.

The usual way

  • โœ•Endless feeds of strangers
  • โœ•Cold messages and sales pitches
  • โœ•Awkward connection requests
  • โœ•An inbox full of people selling

The Hi5 way

  • โœ“Five relevant people to consider
  • โœ“Conversations only when both say Hi
  • โœ“Clear profiles that show what people want
  • โœ“No pressure. If not, nothing happens.

See someone interesting?

Say Hi.โ†’They say Hi too.โ†’It's a match.

If not, nothing happens. Simple.

Your Hi5

Five people. One decision each.

Networking shouldn't feel like scrolling through hundreds of strangers. Your Hi5 gives you a focused selection of people worth discovering.

  • โœ•
    Pass

    They're not the right connection for you.

    Say Hi

    You'd be interested in talking.

    Learn about their experience, projects, goals and interests first.

The goal isn't to see everyone. It's to find the few people who could actually matter.

Match with purpose

Your goals matter more than your job title.

Hi5 isn't just matching people by job title or industry. Tell Hi5 what you're looking for and discover people with compatible intentions.

๐Ÿš€

I'm looking for

A co-founder

Find someone with complementary skills to build your next startup with.

Your goals can change, and your Hi5 changes with them.

Find your people

Whoever you need, they are on Hi5.

Have an idea but need someone to build it with?

Hi5 helps founders find people with complementary skills, interests, and ambitions.

Whether you're looking for a technical co-founder, business co-founder, designer, early team member, or someone to explore an idea with, you can make that intention clear on your profile.

Instead of sending dozens of cold messages, discover people who are also actively looking for opportunities to build.

See why you fit

A job title doesn't tell you who should talk.

Profiles can include skills, industries, experience, interests, projects, goals, location, availability, and what each person is hoping to find.

Hi5 uses this to show how well two profiles align, so you understand why someone appeared in your Hi5 before you decide to connect.

How Hi5 works

Six simple steps from hello to conversation.

Step 1 of 6
  1. 1

    Build your card

    Tell Hi5 who you are, what you do, your skills, interests, and what you're currently working on.

  2. 2

    Tell us who you want to meet

    Set your goals, filters, location preferences, and the kinds of professional relationships you're looking for.

  3. 3

    Meet your Hi5

    Discover a focused selection of relevant people instead of endlessly scrolling through profiles.

  4. 4

    Say Hi

    Interested in someone? Say Hi.

  5. 5

    Match

    If they say Hi too, you've got a match.

  6. 6

    Start talking

    Messaging opens and you can take it from there.

Mutual interest first

A conversation begins when both people choose it.

Hi5 doesn't believe access to someone's inbox should be for sale. Only after a match does messaging open. That means fewer cold pitches, fewer unwanted messages, and fewer conversations where only one person wants to be there.

You both wanted to talk.

  1. ๐Ÿ‘‹

    You say Hi

    You show interest in someone.

  2. ๐Ÿ™‹

    They say Hi

    They are interested in you too.

  3. ๐ŸŽ‰

  4. ๐Ÿ’ฌ
