Your first week on Netch: a simple checklist

Seven days is enough to go from signup to your first real conversation. Here's what to do.

Day 1: Complete your profile

• Fill in all 8 Basics fields: Full Name, Job Title, Company, Country, Professional Bio, Goals, Calendar Link, LinkedIn
• Add at least 3 Stand Out fields (Industry, and two of Tools, Skills, Sectors, or Personal Bio is a good start)
• Save your profile
• Confirm the "Ready to match" label is showing

Your profile is your first impression. A complete one means better matches and a higher chance someone swipes back.

Day 2: Explore Discover

• Open Discover
• Browse without filtering first to get a feel for who's on the platform
• Try at least one filter (role, industry, city) to see how it narrows results

You won't match with anyone until you swipe. Take this day just to look around.

Day 3: Start swiping

• Swipe right on at least 5 people you'd genuinely like to meet
• Swipe left freely. There's no penalty.

Matches happen when both people swipe right. The more you swipe, the higher the chances.

Day 4: Check for matches

• Open your Matches tab
• If you have a mutual match, Netch will have already sent the intro message
• The message includes both calendar links. Click the other person's to book a call.

Day 5: Send a message

• If you matched but haven't heard back, send a short follow-up
• Keep it simple. One or two lines is enough.
• Reference something specific from their profile

Day 7: Book a call

• Aim to have at least one call booked by the end of the week
• 20 minutes is enough for a first conversation
• You don't need an agenda. Show up curious.

• Profile complete (8/8 Basics)
