Introducing Putrace

Putrace
Intentional presence, everywhere.

Put a trace when it matters. Be invisible the rest.

Stories for professional networking. Instead of an always-on profile, you broadcast a temporary trace "In SF next week, open to investors" that expires when you leave. At conferences, it works offline via Bluetooth. Default invisible, discoverable only when you choose.

Presence on your terms

A world where being "networked" doesn't mean always-on, always-visible, always-spammed. You choose when you're findable, to whom, and for how long.

🕒

Ephemeral by design

Traces expire naturally - hours, days, or weeks. Like Stories, but for professional presence. No permanent digital footprint.

📡

Offline discovery

BLE mesh works when WiFi and cellular fail. At conferences, in basements, on airplanes - discover who's in the room. In BLE mode, devices talk directly to each other—no servers, no internet, no central point to block or monitor.

🔒

Default invisible

No trace = no presence. You choose when, how, and to whom you're visible. Block recruiters, sales, or anyone. Privacy is the default, not a setting.

Three traces, one system

Different contexts, same intentionality.

Offline-first HERE mode

Use only BLE? No internet, no servers, no problem. In HERE mode, your phone discovers nearby professionals and chats directly over Bluetooth. Works at conferences, in basements, or when the network is down.

Finally, networking without noise

Professionals are exhausted by always-on networking. Putrace gives them control.

"Before Putrace, I'd spend 2 months cold-emailing investors before a trip. Now I put a trace and match with 5 relevant investors in 2 days."
Sarah, founder
"At TechCrunch Disrupt, WiFi was dead. Putrace's BLE mode—no servers, no internet—showed me 15 founders within 50 meters. Met 3 of them for coffee."
Michael, SaaS founder
"I block all recruiters and sales. Only founders and investors can see me. Finally, I control who finds me."
David, YC alum
"The 'There' trace is genius. Landed 3 intros before my flight even landed."
Priya, consultant
"I see 50+ pitch decks a month. With Putrace, founders I'd actually back can find me when I'm in their city—instead of inbox spam."
Alex, investor
"Conference networking used to mean collecting 100 business cards. Now I discover the 3 people in the room I actually want to talk to."
Jordan, startup ops
"As a designer, I'm terrible at small talk. Putrace lets my trace do the intro—'Looking for PMs building in fintech'—so conversations actually go somewhere."
Sam, product designer
"Zero footprint by default is a game-changer. I'm invisible until I put a trace. No more LinkedIn creepers from old jobs."
Taylor, PM
"Finally, networking that works offline. Got 2 co-founder intros at a hackathon where the venue WiFi was useless."
Chris, engineer
"I advise 8 startups. Putrace means they find me when I'm available—instead of my calendar getting destroyed by cold DMs."
Morgan, advisor

Privacy isn't a setting.
It's the default.

No trace = invisible. End-to-end encryption. Expired traces are permanently deleted. You choose exactly who can see you - by company, department, role, or contact list.
