LinkedIn vs Flynt: Crowded room versus a great chat over a coffee

Big reach versus "wait, you built that really cool thing?"

We've all been there with LinkedIn, it's brilliant for putting yourself out there, sharing your wins and collecting connections like people used to collect stamps. But let's be honest, it can also feel like trying to have a chat in a crowded food market at lunch time, everyone’s rushing to get something, you go in as quickly as you come out. Your inbox gets stuffed with "I'd love to connect!" messages from complete randoms, your feed becomes an AI content wasteland, suddenly you're connected to someone's mate's former colleague who gives wealth advice. Flynt takes a completely different approach. If you're already part of our community, you know the vibe: one thoughtfully chosen introduction each month. You're still building your professional network, just without all the faff, one great match at a time.

LinkedIn: Throw everything at the wall (and hope something sticks)

LinkedIn's great when you want to be seen by basically everyone and their dog, or see everyone and their dog (there are real LinkedIn posts about people’s dogs). It's your professional shop window, your "look what I'm up to" headquarters. If growing your professional presence is the goal, it definitely helps. LinkedIn's great when you want:

• To be visible to literally thousands of people
• Recruiters to message you directly
• A platform for sharing your thoughts with the masses
• A massive, searchable network of pretty much everyone

Flynt: Building your dream network, one introduction at a time

We've completely turned things on their head. Instead of "more, more, more," we're all about "better, better, better." Every introduction is like knowing someone who is super well connected in their career and also cares deeply about your success. Someone who knows your goals, your vibe and will connect you with the right talented people. Choose Flynt when you want:

• Conversations that really matter to you
• Introductions that really focus on what you’re working towards right now
• Zero calendar Tetris – just show up once a month and connect
• A thoughtful, curated space where everyone's added a good level of detail and context to their bio

Less like shouting into a crowded room, more like being introduced to someone over coffee who just gets it.

Choose which matches your rhythm best

If you've made it this far, you probably already lean towards the "meaningful over massive" crew. But they can still work well together for you:

• Keep LinkedIn as your professional shopfront
• Use Flynt as your trusted companion for connections that actually open doors

The right choice depends on where you are career-wise and what kind of growth gets you excited right now. People in our community often mention how refreshing it is to have in-depth chats with people who genuinely know their stuff. Don't just take our word for it, join our growing community of people who believe networking should feel rewarding and see for yourself.
