## What is Run it Back Networking?

You met someone great at a conference. Two weeks later, you can't remember their name, what they did, or what you were supposed to send them.

Run it Back fixes that.

Scan a LinkedIn QR code, jot down what you discussed and which event you met at, and that's it. When you're back at your desk and ready to follow up, your contacts are organized by the event you met them at — not buried in a generic address book with 4,000 other people.

How it works
→ Scan their LinkedIn QR code with your camera
→ Type their name and a quick note about your conversation
→ Tag it with the event (KubeCon, Money 20/20, SaaStr — whatever it was)
→ Get a nudge later to actually reach out

Why it's different

Most contact-capture apps treat networking like a numbers game — scrape the data, dump it in a CRM, move on. Run it Back is built around the part everyone skips: the follow-up. We keep the capture step short on purpose so you can stay present in the conversation, and we make the contact easy to find when you're ready to circle back.

What's inside

QR-based LinkedIn capture — no typing out URLs
Event tagging so you can browse by conference, not by chronology
A "Follow up soon" toggle for the people you really want to stay in touch with — get a push reminder a couple of days later instead of the standard one
Private notes (only you see them) separate from conversation context
One-tap LinkedIn connect after you save
Works offline — cached locally so a bad expo Wi-Fi connection doesn't cost you a contact

Who it's for
Founders, sales folks, recruiters, BD, investors, anyone whose calendar has more conferences on it than they'd like to admit. If you've ever opened a stack of paper badges in your suitcase and felt vaguely guilty, this is for you.

A note on LinkedIn

We only pull the LinkedIn URL from the QR — name, title, and company are quick manual entries. That's intentional. The 30 seconds you spend typing the name is the 30 seconds you spend actually remembering who this person is, which is the whole point.
                  
Download Run it Back before your next event. Your future self — the one who finally sends the follow-up — will thank you.
