Our people are everywhere. Now you can find them. Talas is an invite-only network for people from the Balkans and its diaspora. Find the right people in plain language, get introduced through someone you both know, and post what you need. ASK TALAS Describe who you need the way you would say it: "Who is building products in Vienna?" Talas searches names, cities, companies, universities and interests across the network, can look things up on the public web, and shows each step it takes. Results come back as people you can open, not a wall of text. KNOW WHO YOU'RE MEETING Profiles show experience, education and where people live now, so you know who you are talking to before you reach out. WARM, CONSENT-BASED INTRODUCTIONS Ask the person in between. Talas can draft the request for you, and nothing is sent until you approve it. Introductions happen only when everyone agrees, and declining is private. DO ME A SOLID Post a request or an opportunity: advice, a job, a contact in a new city, a review of your work. Members reply with what is useful, not likes. MESSAGES Private conversations that keep the context of who introduced you. BY INVITATION Members join by invitation, so the network stays high-signal. If you don't have an invitation yet, you can request one at talas.app. Privacy: you choose what to share, and you can delete your account in the app at any time.
