Ripple Networking vs 1% IRL

Introducing Ripple — Networking Made Simple Just one connection can exponentially grow your business network. Launch the movement and manage your network like a pro, with Ripple! As an entrepreneur and business owner, you wear ALL the hats. With everything on your plate, there’s no shame in admitting things can get hectic. You’re rescheduling meetings, sifting through resumes, and everything in between. There are 50+ tabs open in the browser of your brain. But the one thing you’ll always make time for is networking. Because it’s not about WHAT you know… you can fill in the rest. So how can you sift through the networking noise, keep track of promising leads, and turn them into meaningful professional relationships? Truth be told, it’s pretty simple. Meet Ripple — your trusty networking sidekick. App Features Connection Hub Say goodbye to scattered contacts and forgotten introductions. Ripple makes your impressive network manageable. Want to virtually broker an introduction between two contacts? Build business bridges your connections will be grateful for, with just a couple clicks. Event History It all starts with a single connection — and Ripple will help you remember where and when it happened. Effortlessly log new contacts, tying them to events or to the person who introduced you. Curated Events Your time is too precious to be scouring the internet and socials in search of networking events, let alone to be attending any duds. Hone your networking strategy using Ripple’s curated list of events in your area. Read and leave event reviews. Chat Follow up with leads, explore “collabortunities,” and keep business relationships warm through personal, point-to-point communication. With Ripple’s in-app private chat, you can tap into your network without sharing your phone number until you’re ready.

1% IRL is a pre-event social-connection app for people who want fewer introductions, but better ones. Built for curated dinners, members-only nights, founder gatherings, and the kind of events where the room matters as much as the agenda. You register, get cleared from the waitlist, and walk into the venue already knowing who's worth a second drink. THE ROOM BEFORE THE ROOM Once you're cleared for an event, you see the other cleared attendees. Read their bios, their vibes, the things they're into. Send a Signal — a low-pressure intro — to anyone you'd actually like to meet. They accept. You arrive at the venue with a handful of people already expecting you. LOCK-IN: PROOF OF MEETING When you and another attendee actually meet at the event, you both enter each other's 4-digit PIN to "Lock In" the connection. It's a small ritual that confirms a real-world introduction happened — and earns you IRL Keys you can redeem at future events. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT You don't browse strangers in your area. You connect with people already confirmed for the same event. You don't pay to slide into someone's DMs. You pay (with attention, time, and a Lock-In) to be in the room. You don't accumulate matches. You accumulate real introductions. WHAT'S IN v1.0 Curated event browsing and registration Pre-event Signal flow with verified, cleared attendees Vibe-tag matching surfaced as AI recommendations In-venue check-in with location verification Lock-In ritual to confirm real-world meetings IRL Keys reward ledger Encrypted messaging unlocks in v1.1 (after your first Lock-In) WHO IT'S FOR Founders, operators, creatives, and anyone tired of meeting "online" before meeting in person. If you've ever shown up to an event not knowing who else would be there — and wished you could fix that 24 hours before the door opened — 1% IRL is the app. Membership is invite-led. We grow by attendance, not by acquisition. Questions, feedback, or partnership inquiries: hello@onepercentirl.app
