Company Summary

Connectors (leaders, investors, and networkers) are sent job seekers and opportunities everyday. They are hubs for referral activity.

But they have overflowing inboxes and lack the time, patience, and memory recall to play match-maker. Valuable assets (vetted job seekers) go unreferred.

Backed by FG Angels, UpKnown is a better way to track, organize and share vetted job seekers with companies in your network. And it's all done from your inbox.
