We've launched our alpha matching rounds

Flynt's Alpha matching round has officially begun. Here's what you need to know if you're part of it.

TL;DR: Flynt's Alpha matching round has officially begun. Our matching model has selected participants for its first set of curated connections. We've messaged the matches, and the first Flynt Friday meetings kick off this August.
We've kicked off Alpha
The moment we've all been waiting for – we've officially started Flynt's Alpha phase! This round includes just six carefully selected participants split into two groups of three, with each group taking part in one Flynt Friday session. These sessions happen on the last Friday of each month—if you're taking part, we'd love you to protect the 3pm slot on the last Friday of this month. If you're reading this and thinking "I want in" – we're building a waitlist for our Beta phase launching this autumn. Join our waitlist. We're keeping our matching process really tight and deliberate. We're only pairing people our model feels genuinely confident about. Your time is precious, and we want every conversation to feel really worthwhile.
We're training our AI model on what we believe makes good matches
At the heart of this Alpha round is something we're pretty excited about – understanding (and improving) how professional chemistry actually forms. Data can tell us loads: career overlap, shared interests, mutual goals. But it can't yet grasp those subtle things that really matter – personality, energy, ambition, curiosity. That's what makes us humans special. We're building Flynt grounded on human-first principles. Everyone in Alpha will help shape what Flynt becomes. We'll chat with you and ask you for feedback. If your match felt meaningful, we'd love you to invite someone you admire professionally. This is how we want Flynt to grow: one exceptional person at a time. As an Alpha participant, you'll also know first hand when we release new features and updates.
Join our Alpha and help us create more meaningful professional connections
Talented people are often busy, that's why we're asking you keep the last Friday of the month at 3pm free. Just one hour – that's our promise to your calendar. Right now, we're laser-focused on getting the core experience spot-on before we add more flexibility. So here's what that looks like:
- You'll get a private link to log into Flynt, discover who your match is, and see conversation points we've tailored specifically for both of you.
- Then you'll hop into a Flynt-hosted Google Meet.
- After your conversation, we'll ask you to reflect on how it went. What felt natural? What surprised you? What would make your next match even better?
This feedback loop is gold for us – it helps us fine-tune everything to your preferences and create the kind of connections that actually matter.
We're just getting started
This is Flynt version 0 – beautifully raw, wonderfully unpolished, and absolutely brimming with potential. If you're here reading this, you're not just using Flynt. You're actively helping to build it. Your honest thoughts, reflections, and ideas will directly shape what Flynt becomes. Think of yourself as a Flynt Alpha Founder – because that's exactly what you are. Thank you for being part of this journey with us. Thank you for helping us reimagine how professionals find each other. Let's build the future of meaningful connection – together.
