What's my LinkedIn to sign up for the beta, really? expecting to get real answers to that one?

I have to agree - the LinkedIn requirement was a deal breaker for myself. I have one, but I already gave my real name and email. What if I didn't have a one?

My inner conspiracy voice is telling me this is a fake and just a front for headhunters. Absurd, but true haha.

Hi, thanks for the thought! We're definitely real and building this. We did recently rebrand/pivot but here is a Twitter post of our old extension https://twitter.com/RealKevinYang/status/1285992001125531653

You can also check out my linkedin profile haha https://www.linkedin.com/in/zihua-liu/

Hi! We asked for a linkedin to get a better idea on who are interested in tools like this. Internal chrome extension seems to not have too many discussion around it so we have a lot of questions as well!

We also get too many waitlist entries that say test eerer test52422@yopmail.com https://https:linkedin.com/1123123123 testing so we use LinkedIn as a way to filter out the serious folks from the spammers

Like this haha:
