KONNOVA verifies distinct facts rather than displaying one ambiguous investor badge. Identity is confirmed through a specialist provider, outreach is purpose-stated, and nothing about a badge is ever sold.
Summary cards show no more than one primary status. Opening it gives a plain-language breakdown of what has — and has not — been verified. Paid membership never influences these statuses.
Email and phone confirmed. Browsing and saving.
Government ID and liveness confirmed through a specialist provider.
A record of real meetings and completed interactions.
No single badge stands in for everything. Each claim carries its own provider, evidence reference, status and date.
| Internal claim | Evidence or method | Public presentation |
|---|---|---|
| Contact | Verified email and phone. | Contact Verified |
| Identity | Government ID, identity match and liveness through a specialist provider. | Identity Verified |
| Platform record | Confirmed meetings and completed, documented interactions on the platform. | Confirmed Platform Activity |
Browsing needs almost nothing. Reaching into someone’s inbox needs more. Verification appears at the moment it unlocks a real capability.
Every connection request states who is asking, what they do and why they are getting in touch. The person on the other side sees that before they decide — which is the difference between a conversation and a cold DM. Nothing on KONNOVA is an offer, and nothing is binding.
Preferred industries, project stage, music, film and event interests and geography shape what you see. Every recommendation explains why it surfaced.
Restrict direct messages to verified members. Everyone else submits a connection request stating their purpose first.
Save people, companies and opportunities into named folders — Artists I’m Watching, Atlanta Promoters, Producers — and keep track without committing to anything.
Legal names, identity documents, financial details and private contact information are never public by default.
Request a meeting with a purpose, suggested times and a format — without handing over your phone number or personal email.
Unusual outreach volume, repeated identical pitches, pressure to move to encrypted channels, upfront fees, gift-card or crypto demands and guaranteed-return claims all trigger rate limits, step-up verification or human review.
KONNOVA is a connection platform. It does not host securities offerings, does not run accreditation or proof-of-funds checks, does not take a transaction fee or commission, and does not hold, move or custody member funds. It is not a broker-dealer. Any investment conversation that starts here continues off the platform, between the parties and their own advisers.
Verified identity and a stated purpose — before the first call.
