About Partnears

What is Partnears?

Partnears is a global professional networking platform powered by artificial intelligence. It helps you find specialists, entrepreneurs, potential partners and business contacts nearby and around the world. The platform brings together personalised Circles, AI search, professional profiles and direct communication.

Who is Partnears for?

For entrepreneurs, freelancers, consultants, investors, startup founders, executives and specialists interested in collaboration and in growing their professional network.

How is Partnears different from LinkedIn and social networks?

Partnears focuses on relevant professional connections rather than posts, likes and followers. At its core are personalised recommendations, proximity between users, professional profiles and natural-language search.

Does Partnears work worldwide?

Partnears is built for an international audience. Circles help you find people nearby, and AI search lets you look for specialists in other cities and countries.

AI specialist search

What is Partnears AI search?

A tool for finding specialists with natural-language queries. You describe the task, and the system matches relevant professional profiles based on the available information about their specialisation, experience and skills.

How do I find a specialist with AI?

Type your request in plain words, for example: “Find a blockchain developer in Dubai” or “I need a designer with experience working with premium brands”. AI search helps you find suitable profiles.

Who can appear in Partnears AI search?

All verified users can take part in organic AI search, whether or not they have a paid subscription. Whether a profile is shown depends on its relevance to the query and on its visibility settings.

Do I need Pro to appear in AI search?

No. A verified user can appear in organic AI results and receive incoming requests for free. Pro is not required for this.

Does Pro give priority in AI results?

No. A Pro subscription does not by itself raise a specialist's organic position. Recommendations are based on relevance and other ranking factors, not on payment.

Can I search for specialists in other countries?

Yes. You can specify a country, a city and other location requirements in your query.

Can Partnears put together a team for a project?

Pro's advanced AI search supports complex queries, including finding specialists for different tasks within one project.

Circles and Smart Circles

What are Circles?

A section of automatic recommendations of professionally relevant people. The system takes into account profile information, interests, geographic proximity and mutual contacts.

How are people recommendations made?

Partnears matches professional characteristics and how useful a connection could be, takes mutual geographic reach into account and can show why someone is recommended: shared interests, industry or mutual contacts.

Which Circles are available with Verified?

A verified user has a professional Circle with its own settings and a general Circle with automatic recommendations based on their profile, contacts and location.

Can the recommendation radius grow?

Yes. The system can automatically widen the radius within the selected region, taking users' mutual geographic reach into account.

How are Circles different from AI search?

Circles recommend people automatically; AI search helps you look for specialists purposefully by a query you write, including worldwide.

Clients and business opportunities

How do I get clients through Partnears?

Create a professional profile, add your specialisation, experience and skills, then get verified. After that your profile can take part in organic AI search, so potential clients can find you by relevant queries.

Can I receive requests without Pro?

Yes. Incoming requests through AI search are available to verified users without a required paid subscription.

Can I find a business partner, investor or consultant?

Yes. Partnears helps you look for professional contacts by specialisation and task, provided suitable users are on the platform.

Does Partnears guarantee clients?

No. The platform provides tools for search and communication but does not guarantee requests, contracts or income.

Profile and verification

How do I create a professional profile?

Sign up and fill in your activity, specialisation, skills and experience. You can add links to your website, social networks and portfolio.

Is verification required?

No. Without verification you get limited features, including basic AI search. A public profile and appearing in AI specialist results require verification.

How does identity verification work?

Partnears uses Sumsub's technology. Verification may include an identity document and additional steps to confirm your identity.

What does Verified give me?

A public professional profile within Partnears, a place in Circles and in organic AI search, and the ability to receive incoming requests.

Does verification guarantee qualifications?

No. An identity check does not confirm professional licences, qualifications, the quality of services or a user's good faith.

Free access and Pro

Can I use Partnears for free?

Yes. There is free access with limits. Verified users can take part in organic AI search and receive incoming requests for free.

What is Partnears Pro?

A paid subscription with advanced AI search, additional professional Circles, analytics and tools for working with business opportunities more effectively.

Why Pro, if AI visibility is free?

Verified lets you be found. Pro adds tools for search, analytics and working with contacts, but it is not a payment for appearing in organic AI results.

Does Pro raise a specialist's ranking?

No. Paying for Pro gives no automatic advantage in organic ranking.

Does Pro guarantee more clients?

No. The additional features do not guarantee any number of leads, deals or income.

Contacts, messages and events

How do I add someone to my contacts?

Open their profile and choose to add them to your contacts. Adding is one-way; the person gets a notification and can add you back.

Are there direct messages?

Yes. Users can talk to each other directly. Limits on starting new conversations depend on the account's status.

Can I find professional events?

Yes. Events are part of Circles and help you meet people at professional events.

Who can create events?

Creating events is available to verified users with an active Pro subscription.

Security and privacy

Does AI analyse the content of private messages?

No. AI analysis of interactions uses only metadata, such as how often people communicate and how fast the first reply comes, without analysing the text of messages, attachments or the meaning of conversations.

What is the reply speed indicator?

An aggregate measure of how quickly a specialist usually replies to a first incoming message. It does not reveal the content of conversations or exact activity times.

Who operates Partnears?

The platform's operator is SOLUS CITY PORTAL CO. L.L.C, a company registered in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
