About Seen.
Marketers look after everyone else's brand. Nobody looks afterours.
We spend our careers making other people legible. We write the case study for the product team, name the thing the founders couldn't name, turn a messy quarter into a slide the board understands.
Then we go to update our own CV and write "drove significant growth through cross-functional initiatives."
It isn't laziness. It's that our work has nowhere to live. The dashboard belonged to the company. The deck got archived. The ad account login stopped working two weeks after we handed back the laptop. A developer keeps a public record of everything they built. A designer has a portfolio you can judge in eight seconds. We get a bullet point, and a bullet point is a compression artefact, not a career.
Seen. is us doing for ourselves what we do for everyone else. You answer eight questions, we build a card worth posting, and behind it sits a portfolio of the projects you're proudest of, with the numbers they moved.
What it is
- An Impact Card. A 1080 × 1350 image with your best numbers on it, built to survive a mobile feed and carry your name.
- A portfolio behind it. The projects you're proudest of, each with the work you actually did and the metric it moved.
- One link. Send it to a recruiter, put it in your CV, pin it to your profile. Public or private, your call, per metric.
What it isn't
- Not a social network. No feed, no likes, no followers, nothing to scroll. The moment there's a feed, the product's job becomes keeping you on it.
- Not a directory. Profiles are reachable by link, never by browsing. Nobody stumbles across you.
- Not an analytics tool. This is aggregate impact over time, the shape of a career, not the state of a dashboard.
What we're honest about
The two closest things to Seen. that ever existed both shut down. Polywork closed in January 2025 having raised more than $40M. Read.cv, a genuinely beautiful product, wound down in 2025 after being acquired. Neither failed on design or on the strength of the idea. They failed on business model and stickiness, with far more money than we'll ever have.
So we started with the smallest thing that can spread on its own, one card, instead of building a professional network and hoping. And we'd rather find out quickly that marketers don't want this than slowly and expensively. More on thathere.
We also don't know yet whether people will post their real numbers publicly. Confidentiality is a genuine constraint, and the marketers with the best results are often the most restricted. If that caps the whole idea, we'd like to learn it from you rather than from a flat line on a chart.
If a Seen. card looks like something a template generator made, we've failed at the only thing we said we'd do.
