Guild Raises $2.7M to Disrupt Professional Networking
London-based startup Guild raises $2.7 million in seed funding to establish itself as an alternative to LinkedIn and WhatsApp for professional networking and community building.
ProblemTechnology
"Professional networking platforms like LinkedIn and WhatsApp are not designed for professional communities and are often noisy, filled with ads, and lack privacy. Businesses struggle to find compliant and secure ways to connect with their teams and customers, while individuals struggle to find meaningful connections and learn from peers in smaller, more contextual networks."
Solution
"Guild is a mobile-first, ad-free platform that provides a safe and compliant space for professional communities and networking. It offers a user-friendly experience similar to WhatsApp or LinkedIn but with enhanced privacy, data control, and features for businesses to run GDPR-compliant communities and groups. Guild also allows individuals to join groups and communities to make valuable new professional connections and learn from peers."
