000/For members
A network that pays back the time you put into it.
001/How you join
Three ways in.
Different communities admit members different ways. Most use one of the three below.
- 01
By invitation
An operator or another member sends you a link. You sign up, your profile is created, and you're in.
- 02
By email domain
If you have an email at a member institution (think @stanford.edu, @nih.gov), you're auto-recognized when you sign up.
- 03
By application
Some communities take applications. Write a few sentences about who you are and what you're working on. The operator reviews.
002/What you get
Six things that show up in your account.
- 01
A profile that travels
One identity across every Cortexa community you join. Update it once.
- 02
Sessions
Book 30-minute conversations against real availability. No DM tag, no email back-and-forth.
- 03
A peer directory
Search by topic, industry, location, or standing. Reach anyone you can see.
- 04
Events
Talks, panels, and gatherings — RSVP in one click, attend, follow up in the room.
- 05
A curated library
Documents, video, and links — chosen by people who know what's worth reading. Searchable, citable.
- 06
Conversations
Long-form group threads, direct messages, and a dedicated room for every session you book.
003/One profile, many communities
A profile that travels.
Most platforms make you start over for every group you join. Cortexa doesn't. The accomplishments you log, the expertise you publish, and the conversations you've had follow you across every community on the platform.
Each community sees the slice of you that's relevant — operators set the boundaries — but you maintain one identity, not seven.
