ALINE is a real-time professional networking app that helps you meet the right people who are within your proximity. When you open the app and go visible, ALINE identifies professionals around you who match your goals, role, and interests -- whether you're at a conference, coworking space, campus, coffee shop, or event. No more: "I'm afraid to go up to them" "Will they like me" "Are we wasting each other's time" Stop spending hours searching on LinkedIn, sending connection requests that get ignored, or endlessly swiping through profiles. ALINE breaks the ice for you, to make meeting people easy, fun and fast: Students - Mentors Founders - Investors Entrepreneurs - Co-founders Job Seekers - Employers Companies - Vendors Sales - Customers Recruiters - Talent Consultants - Clients Connect based on what truly matters -- your goals, skills, and values -- not your photo, name, appearance or personal info. Reveal who you are only when you choose, turning every connection into a professionally valuable interaction rather than a superficial first impression. ALINE is for professional growth, not dating.

It does not request Apple or AI-assistant passwords, contact lists, general chat history, or saved-memory exports. Messaging and contact exchange require mutual consent. A participating Mixer event and internet connection are required. Match scores and explanations are suggestions, not guarantees of compatibility, identity, safety, or any outcome.
