Every generation builds the network it needs.

In the 1950s, your network was your Rolodex—a physical stack of cards you flipped through by hand. Who you knew depended on who you'd already met. Introductions happened over golf courses and dinner parties. The friction was enormous, and opportunity stayed locked inside small circles.

Then came Facebook. For the first time, you could maintain relationships at scale. Your high school friends, college roommates, and distant cousins all lived in one feed. Social networking proved that digital connections could feel real. But Facebook was built for keeping up with people you already knew—not for finding the people you needed to meet.

LinkedIn tried to solve that. Suddenly, you could search for anyone. A Stanford grad in Singapore could find a founder in São Paulo. The internet made everyone visible. But visibility isn't connection. A profile isn't context. And a connection request from a stranger is just noise. LinkedIn solved discovery. It never solved understanding.

Now we're entering a new era. AI can finally do what no search engine ever could: understand who you actually are.

Not just your job title—your ambitions, your skills, what you're building, what keeps you up at night. Frank connects to your emails, your calendar, your documents, your conversations. It sees the full picture: the meeting you just had with a VC, the project deadline you're racing toward, the skill gap you're trying to close, the career pivot you're quietly considering. This isn't surveillance—it's context. The same context a great mentor or well-connected friend would have if they were paying attention to every detail of your life.

With that context, Frank can do something no platform has done before: make introductions that actually make sense. It can read between the lines and know that the founder struggling with go-to-market would benefit from meeting the growth lead who just solved the same problem. It understands timing—when you're ready for advice, when you need a co-founder, when you're just looking to learn.

This is the leap. From searchable to understandable. From profiles to context. From "who do you know?" to "who should you know?"

Franklink is the professional network rebuilt from scratch for this moment. There's no feed to scroll. No posts to perform. No algorithm optimizing for engagement. Just an AI that knows your full story—your goals, your challenges, your trajectory—and introduces you to the exact people who can help you get where you're going.

The best connections have always come from people who truly know you making introductions on your behalf. Frank is that person, at scale.
