> for the reason to really separate work and non-work

Do you mean that you would rather use your personal email to connect with other professionals? I am bit confused.

Thank you for the feedback. I will definitely think about this.
dodoso··on Is LinkedIn the New Facebook?
For people looking a LinkedIn alternative, I am trying to get validation before building. 2 main things will set us apart.

1) It will be social media-free (no humble bragging, self-ceos, personal updates)

2) Use work email for connection and communication (our goal is to get you to stay away from our website)

It would really help if you can pre-register (https://knowforwork.com) with an email so I can validate the idea. I don't want to build and have no users. Let me know if you have any questions.

That’s going to be hard to do. Recruiters will simply post it for HM.

If it is bootstrapped, would you pay $1-2 per month (charged annually) for a service like this? Removing the pressure for YoY growth.
