Early access · a trust layer for builders

Know who you’re building with.

Collaboration trust is scattered across GitHub, LinkedIn and Discord. Plaza unifies them into one signal that answers three questions about any collaborator: are they credible, open to collaborate now, and safe to contact?

The trust problem

Three questions every collaboration starts with.

Today the answers live in three different places, none of them built for trust. Plaza brings them together.

01

Is this person credible?

A Trust Score composed from verified activity — real commit history and ownership evidence — not a self-declared bio.

Source: GitHub proof-of-work
02

Are they open right now?

A first-class Intent Badge states exactly what someone is open to today — “open to co-founder”, “maintenance help wanted” — not a stale status.

Source: live availability
03

Is it safe to contact?

Contact is controlled — only through a structured request. Raw inboxes are never exposed, so there is zero cold-DM spam.

How it works

Verified in, matched by meaning.

Sign in once with the graphs that already prove your work. Plaza does the rest — and never shows a match without telling you why.

Dual-source trust gateway

Sign in with GitHub and LinkedIn. Identity is anchored to both your work graph and your career graph before a profile exists.

Trust Score

A composite credibility signal computed from verified contribution activity and ownership evidence — tamper-resistant, not self-reported.

Semantic matching

Discovery ranks collaborators by meaning, not keywords, using skill embeddings — with a human-readable Match Reason on every result.

Project Cards

Show what you’re building: a card per product-in-progress with stage, current needs and demo links — the unit of discovery in the plaza.

Request Market

Post concrete collaboration asks — maintainer roles or structured team postings — and browse who’s actually looking.

Controlled contact

Reach out through a structured collaboration request. No exposed emails, no cold spam — just relevant, contextual intros.

Built on signals you already trust

Questions

Before you join.

What is Plaza?

Plaza is a trust layer for finding collaborators. It unifies GitHub proof-of-work, LinkedIn professional identity and live availability into a single structured signal that answers three questions about any potential collaborator: are they credible, are they open to collaborating right now, and is it safe to contact them?

How does Plaza verify that a builder is credible?

Plaza uses a dual-source trust gateway: you sign in with GitHub and LinkedIn, anchoring identity to both your work graph and your career graph. A Trust Score is then composed from verified activity — real commit history and ownership evidence — not self-declared claims.

How does matching work?

Plaza matches collaborators by meaning, not keywords, using semantic embeddings of skills, projects and needs. Every recommendation comes with a human-readable Match Reason — no match is ever shown without explaining why.

Will Plaza spam my inbox?

No. Contact is controlled — it can only be initiated through a structured collaboration request, and raw contact details are never exposed. It is built to eliminate cold-DM spam.

How much does Plaza cost, and when can I use it?

Plaza is in early access development. Join the waitlist and we’ll email your invite when it opens — no charge to register interest.
