Networking is Broken.
We can do better.
Why?
I love building things.
I hate networking.
Still, in startups, business, finance, tech - anything fast-moving - your network is everything.
And I don't think I'm alone.
Talent is Everywhere. Opportunity Isn't.
You either spend time on something worthwhile, or spend it making "connections" by "networking."
It's pretty hard to do both.
If you're in the right location, you can kill time at events, conferences, and meetups. Or waste hours drafting the perfect cold DM, only to send it to people who never answer. If not, your inbox is flooded with Google Meets, Cal.com links, and unanswered calendar invites.
You watch an "intro chat" turn into four reschedules before getting ghosted.
I've been there more times than I'd like.
*Five reschedules
So I built Walker for College Students.
College is pretty chaotic. Everyone's trying to figure out the rest of their life in four years. All while balancing classes, friends, internships, and a life.
Nobody has time for Google Meets or coffee chats that never happen.
Everyone does for real conversations.
If we're always on our phones, why not use them to talk with someone interesting?
How?
Group flick up
Walker started as a weekend-long hackathon project in SF. It didn't do too well.
I got grilled during the demo (I don't blame them).
I still took their advice to rework it from scratch.
With Walker, just talk about yourself like you're catching up with a friend. Your ambitions, interests, dreams, and the things you're passionate about.
Walker listens and connects you with the right people to actually help you achieve your goals. Walker then transfers the call, giving you a direct line to talk.
No downloads, social auth, or 20-step onboarding.
Just real connections in 5 minutes. Zero BS.
The Ultimatum.
You can always chase people that don't care.
Or let Walker connect you with the ones that do.
I know what I'm choosing.
Dris.
