This is very cool. I tried to signup though and it required a LinkedIn account. I deleted my LinkedIn account due to privacy policy changes I disagreed with.
Hope it can one day remove the prerequisite of a LinkedIn account.
Great idea and great work!
- config_yml 5y agoSame here, tried to sign up last week but got stopped out by this requirement.
- lloydatkinson 5y agoWow that’s insane, the last thing I would want is a SSO with LinkedIn of all things.
- mritchie712 5y agoIts not SSO, just an input asking for it
- victor106 5y agoAndrew is a great guy. Yeah, I agree about the LinkedIn requirement. I deleted mine for that and other reasons one of the primary being people bombard you asking for recommendations.
- shannifin 5y ago> Hope it can one day remove the prerequisite of a LinkedIn account. Agreed. Not a big LinkedIn fan, but was able to sign up with my really crappy minimal-info LinkedIn account.
- malux85 5y agoJust signed up now, it appears they don’t do much validation on the input, I put in “linkedin.com/404” and it let me pass
- switchstance 5y agoWhen you ask a company a question via MA, they can look at your LinkedIn account before turning over any info.
- malux85 5y agoSo? They will see I don’t have one. As lots of people on this thread have mentioned - not everyone has a LinkedIn profile, and making it a required field on the signup form is dumb.
- switchstance 5y agoAre you in the market to buy a startup? My guess is that most people wanting to legitimately buy a business will have a LinkedIn account. I’m curious how you’d vet users if you were running the platform.

- ___luigi 5y agoI deleted my Linkedin account as well. I use other social platforms. I think you can use your email to signup. Linkedin is just an option.
