## What is Jana?

There are people in your life worth knowing better. Your colleague across the floor. The founder you met at that event. The friend of a friend you keep meaning to reach properly.

Jana is built for them.

Not for followers. Not for cold connections. Not for a feed full of people you barely remember meeting. Just the people you see, speak to, and show up for, and the ones one warm introduction away.


YOUR CIRCLE, YOUR CARDS

You carry two versions of yourself, the person your friends know and the professional others work with. Jana reflects that.

Create a Casual Card and a Professional Card. Each holds exactly the fields you choose to put in it. When you connect with someone, you decide which card to share. They only ever see what you've chosen to show.

Your number. Your LinkedIn. Your Spotify. Your call.


CONNECT THE WAY IT ACTUALLY HAPPENS

Every connection on Jana starts in person. You scan someone's QR code or they redeem your invite. No search bar. No suggested strangers. No algorithm quietly deciding who belongs in your world.

The people in your circle got there because you put them there.

REACH FURTHER. SAFELY.

Sometimes the person worth knowing is just outside your immediate circle, a friend of a friend, a colleague of a colleague.

Jana maps your mutual connections privately. When you spot someone you'd like to meet, you can ask a mutual contact for a warm introduction. They send a private, personal message to bridge the gap. No cold outreach. No awkward follow requests. Just a trusted word from someone you both know.

Your circle grows through trust, not exposure.


DIRECT MESSAGING

Once connected, you can message each other directly. No group chats you didn't ask for. No broadcast lists. Just the people in your circle, when you choose to reach out.

WHAT JANA IS NOT

— A discovery feed
— A "people you may know" engine
— A public profile directory
— A platform that sells your data

Jana is not trying to grow your network. It's trying to strengthen your circle, and deepen it, one trusted introduction at a time.

Your circle starts now.
