Polywork Shuts Down

Tried it when it was a LinkedIn competitor.<p>There&#x27;s one thing that I notice with these sorts of startups that take on larger social network apps.<p>If you&#x27;re not in the US and you try it, chances are you&#x27;ll find very few users from your own region.<p>For some platforms that&#x27;s fine, you can find plenty of others to interact with online where location isn&#x27;t that big an issue (eg BlueSky). But for something like a professional network it&#x27;s different. You&#x27;re very likely building your career network based on who you actually know, which is often starting from your area or country. That makes something like Polywork pretty pointless early on.

I actually liked their UI out of the box, but seems like they started as LinkedIn competitor but ended up becoming a website builder.
