The Los Angeles based startup was founded in 2015 by Australian musicians Josh Simons and Barry Palmer of Hunters & Collectors.[3] According to The Australian Financial Review, the company received seed funding from Nick Feldman of 1980s British band Wang Chung.[4] Apple named the app in its "Best of 2017" list.[5]

In August 2019 the company launched an equity crowdfunding campaign on Wefunder which saw the company reach their minimum fund-raising target in the first hour.[6]

As of February 2020, the app has facilitated over 5 million professional connections worldwide.[7]
