Your phone silently broadcasts your professional identity. No scanning, no tapping, no friction. Just be in the room and let Handshake do the rest.
Three seamless steps that replace the entire business card ritual. No apps to open, no QR codes to fumble with.
Handshake uses Bluetooth Low Energy to detect everyone nearby. The closer someone is, the higher they appear on your list. No pairing needed.
See someone interesting? Tap their profile and hit Exchange. They get a push notification. One confirmation and you've shared full contact details.
Event organizers create zones. Everyone near a speaker automatically gets their slide deck and contact card. Networking at scale, zero effort.
Too busy networking to remember everyone? Handshake silently logs every person who was near you for more than 3 minutes — even if your phone stayed in your pocket.
Your Handshake profile is a living, dynamic card. Auto-synced with LinkedIn and GitHub, it shows who you are and what you're looking for — so people know why they should talk to you.
Add notes directly to contacts: "Promised to send pricing" or "Met at the buffet." Context-tagged with location, time, and event — so you always remember the conversation.
