Professional networks are broken because they were built for a different internet — one where information was scarce and personal branding was expensive. The result is what we all experience today: low-quality content, irrelevant outreach, and products that feel closer to sales tools than places for real connection.
With AI, this gets worse. Content becomes cheaper. Outreach becomes cheaper. Polished personal branding becomes cheaper. The things that actually matter become harder to find: trust, context, proof, intent, and useful outcomes.
Manatee is built around those scarce things.
We believe professional connection is about reducing uncertainty between people — enough to take meaningful action together. A better network should answer: who is relevant to me right now, why, can I trust them, and what's the right way to connect?
You tell Manatee what you're trying to achieve. Manatee works quietly in the background, and emails you only when there's a match worth acting on — with full context on who they are, why you're being connected, and a suggested next step.
The network reaches out to you, not the other way around.
There is no feed. No daily usage expectation. No content to scroll. Just relevant people at relevant moments.
Build for engagement metrics. Build ads. Confuse visibility with value. Monetize in ways that erode trust. AI should not create more noise — it should help filter, prioritize, and surface what actually matters.
The ambition is to become the place where professional intent, trust, and outcomes live.
