Closed beta
Search friends’ LinkedIn networks in plain English
LinkedIn only searches your connections. knowswho searches your friends’ networks too.
Find who your friends know, pick the right person, and get a warm intro through the mutual friend you both trust.
New signups are paused. Existing users can sign in. We will email waitlist members when onboarding reopens.
How it works
1 · Friends share their network
Connect with friends on knowswho. When they upload LinkedIn, their connections become searchable for you.
2 · Search in plain English
“Technical recruiters at AI companies.” Search friends’ networks and yours if you’ve connected LinkedIn too.
3 · Get a warm intro
See which friend can bridge you. They approve a pre-written intro in one tap.

Frequently asked questions
What is knowswho?
knowswho lets you search friends' LinkedIn networks in plain English — and your own connections too. Find the right person, see which friend can introduce you, and request a warm intro they approve in one tap.
Can I search a friend's LinkedIn connections?
Yes. When friends connect on knowswho and share their LinkedIn export, their connections become searchable for you. You can search friends' networks without uploading your own export.
How does knowswho work?
Friends connect on knowswho and optionally upload their LinkedIn export. You search in plain English (for example, "VCs who invest in AI startups"). Results show who matches and which friend can introduce you. Your friend approves a pre-written intro message.
Is my LinkedIn data private?
Your LinkedIn connections are only visible to friends you connect with on knowswho — not to the public or other users. You control what you upload, and you can disconnect at any time.
Do I need to upload my own LinkedIn export?
No. You can search your friends' networks without uploading your own. Uploading your LinkedIn export lets you search your own connections too, with the same search bar and intro flow.
How is knowswho different from LinkedIn search?
LinkedIn only searches your direct connections. knowswho searches your friends' networks too — so you can find people two hops away and get a warm intro through someone you both trust, instead of sending cold messages.
Is knowswho free?
knowswho is in closed beta. New signups are paused — join the waitlist and we will email you when onboarding reopens. Existing beta users keep access while we scale.
How do I get access during closed beta?
Join the waitlist at knowswho.com/waitlist. We are onboarding in batches and will email you when your spot opens. If you already have an account, sign in at knowswho.com/login.
Someone you need to meet is probably a friend’s connection away.
