Guidoor helps you manage connections for business and career success.
Our first product is a "Professional Network Manager" which helps users manage their connections and achieve business or career success. Our vision is to build a platform where we collaborate with our networks on introductions for mutual business or career success.
Our product is simpler than traditional sales CRMs and more automated than spreadsheets, designed to help you keep track of all the little details that deepen relationships.
💡 Our mid to long-term goal is to "revolutionize LinkedIn with Web3 and AI technology," facilitating better collaboration and career development among professionals.
When it comes to job hunting, recruiting, and seeking clients or partners, we need to remember personal details and seek mutual collaborations, but there hasn’t been a suitable tool for this. Traditional sales CRMs are too complicated, and self-made spreadsheets are too labor-intensive. Guidoor offers an easy-to-use interface with the support of automated software technology, reducing the hassle of managing networks.
We believe "professional network data" is everyone's most important social capital. Starting as a "Professional Network Manager," we plan to integrate Web3 and AI technology in the mid to long term, allowing users to own and exchange their networking data and make more accurate mutual recommendations.
Our vision is to enable an ecosystem of communities where "every professional can pursue their ideal career" by building a professional social platform based on mutual networking support.
We think from users' perspectives, ensuring that our product development is a continuous process of empathizing with users and innovating solutions. We are dedicated to delivering a delightful product experience, solving their problems, and bringing value to their work or personal lives.
We seek talents who enjoy learning and surpassing themselves and are brave in proactively confronting challenges. With limited resources, we strive to achieve our goals effectively and innovatively. When faced with challenges, we communicate our circumstances openly and swiftly make adjustments to plan our next steps. Along this journey, we will support each other and grow together.
In our hybrid mode (2 days of in-person work/meetings per week), we require not only effective written and verbal communication but also a high degree of self-discipline, autonomy, and responsibility. With flexible working hours and locations, we trust each other to work independently and accomplish team goals.
We encourage open and honest communication among ourselves, while also relying on good expression and communication skills. We are able to clearly identify problems, discuss them together, and are brave in both offering and accepting suggestions. We believe that each piece of feedback is an opportunity for growth and helps make our team stronger.
We place strong emphasis on "obtaining continuous and frequent user feedback" and on reacting swiftly to create a product where "experience, technology, and business" are in balance.
Below is our current development and collaboration process, which has evolved from the traditional Sprint/Scrum approach. We will continue to adjust and improve it based on different stages of the product and changes within the team.

Hello there 👋👋🏻👋🏾,
I'm Jason - the CEO and Co-founder of Guidoor. If you're passionate about career development for professional talents, networking for mutual benefit, and have a burning desire to craft products that users love and explore the application of new technologies, we sincerely invite you to read on.
Both of us, the co-founders, planted the seeds of entrepreneurship during our university days. In the first 10 years of our careers, we dived into various startups and tech companies, working in teams ranging from 5 to 5,000 people across 8 different industries. This journey has built up our capability and philosophy in shaping teams, products, and businesses. We've been part of early-stage companies and taken roller coaster rides of teams, personally going through or witnessing five major layoffs and team shuffles.
Living in a fast-paced environment, we've encountered firsthand the challenges of career development in this new era. Through mutual support in our networks, we've received tremendous help and enjoy aiding others. These experiences have led us to our entrepreneurial vision: to create a platform for professional networking to help each other, fostering an ecosystem of communities where "every professional can pursue their ideal career."
Both of us come from engineering backgrounds and have gained knowledge in product, design, and business throughout our careers. Together, we have gone through 4 product launch failures, spending significant time on developments that failed to resonate with users and the market. Because of these experiences, we emphasize "getting early user feedback" and "creating products that seamlessly integrate user experience, technology, and business." For example, in the first year of our startup, we intentionally didn’t write a single line of code but conducted over a hundred user interviews and tests instead.
Does this spark your curiosity or excitement? We invite you to keep reading. Perhaps we can become great partners, building a team and a business that realizes our shared vision.
