Knowasiak
The verified B2B social & intelligence network — the corner LinkedIn structurally can't touch.
The Problem
92% of businesses trust their peers more than any platform.
Nobody's built that network yet — and the cost of that gap is compounding fast.
Why Now
This didn't exist three years ago.
The Solution
Verify once. Get found everywhere.
Free to join, always. This is the pricing model the platform is built around — the business eventually pays to get found, at roughly 60x cheaper than the enterprise security floor of $6,000 a year.
Pricing model, not current revenue — see slide 9.
Why It's Defensible
Three things a copycat can't fake overnight.
Platform is live at knowasiak.com — not a prototype.
Traction
Not linear. Compounding.
22,000+ accounts, 2,800 posts and 9M+ page views a month — three different metrics, all compounding, none from paid acquisition.
Go-To-Market
One channel: profiles that rank themselves.
Not a new bet — the same loop already driving 9M+ page views/mo, growing faster than account signups. The raise deepens this exact channel, not a new one.
Same category of playbook that took Crunchbase, G2, and Glassdoor to tens of millions of profile pages without paid acquisition. The $1M funds richer profiles (verification, badges, business insights) that rank better and convert more — not a new channel.
Market Size
$81B split between two markets nobody's combined.
Business Model
Growth this year. Four ways we make money after.
free accounts through verification, badges & insights. Zero revenue goal, zero paid acquisition — momentum first.
Team
One founder built this. The raise adds the rest.
The Ask
We're raising $1M
to go from 22,000 to 1,000,000 active accounts in 12 months.
$1M is a product-led growth bet, not an ad-spend bet — building verification, badges, and business insights fast enough to keep doubling account growth every 6 months, on the way to 1,000,000. Revenue starts after momentum, not before it.
