The Opportunity

Despite massive investment in conferences and events, meaningful networking remains deeply inefficient.

We exist in social silos, walking past our next partner, mentor, or client.

Core Product Features

By leveraging a proprietary Connection DNA matching engine and Double-Blind Handshake protocol,
Raydius identifies non-obvious commonalities between strangers in close physical proximity.

Connection DNA Matrix

Our AI synthesizes multi-modal data points Professional, Cultural, Temporal, and Intent to create a Vectorized Semantic Fingerprint of each user. It identifies Diamond Matches – rare overlaps that guarantee conversational chemistry.

Double-Blind Handshake

The double-blind protocol eliminates the ‘creep factor’ of traditional location-based apps. No one is ever exposed without their consent. No one experiences the social rejection of a declined approach.

Zero-Knowledge Architecture

We utilize a Stateless Ingestion policy. Raw social data is converted into high-dimensional embeddings and then immediately purged.

Recruiter Radar & Employer Shield (Stealth Mode)

Recruiter Radar is a real-time, radar-style view of nearby event attendees so recruiters can spot high-fit candidates fast. Tapping a match opens a blind preview and quick actions to send a discreet invite/handshake, save to CRM, or dismiss, with optional team-level performance tracking.

Stealth Mode deploys a backend filtering service that uses domain-masking to ensure users are automatically invisible to their current employers and designated individuals. This is not a UI-level hide: data packets are never transmitted to unauthorized devices.

Hybrid Positioning System

Combining Bluetooth LE (RSSI), Wi-Fi Fingerprinting, and GPS Geofencing to maintain high-resolution indoor proximity with minimal battery drain. The positioning system is designed for indoor accuracy, resolving location to within 3–5 meters in dense, multi-floor environments like convention centers.

Military-Grade Privacy Protection

Privacy By Design

Raydius is designed to be privacy-first by architecture, using a consent-gated “Double-Blind Handshake” so identities are never exposed until both people explicitly opt in.

In an Encounter Zone, users appear only as anonymized signals (not a browsable directory), and Raydius emphasizes “zero-knowledge” principles by converting inputs into vector embeddings, storing the coordinates of interests rather than raw social data, and purging source data to reduce breach impact and eliminate “data broker” incentives.

Location is also treated as sensitive: Raydius is intended to activate only within geofenced, high-density venues (not continuous always-on tracking), and it supports protections like Stealth Mode / Employer Shield so specific parties can be made effectively invisible at a backend level.

Proximity Fuzzing & Spatial Privacy

Even if a match is permitted, we prevent Physical De-anonymization by using Coordinate Offsetting. The server sends a Geofenced Sector ID, a broad 10-meter zone, rather than a precise GPS location.

Ephemeral Alias Protocol

Device broadcasts a One-Time Identity Token (OTID) that expires every 15 minutes. Data packets sent contains only vectorized attributes. Real identity is encrypted with a Dual-Key: held by the user and the server. 

Anti-Stalking Logic

LinkedIn Verification ensures users must have a verified, aged account with a minimum connection count. Rate Limiting flags anyone sending 50+ invites in an hour with 0 accepts for manual review and temporary suspension.

Your Social Sixth Sense

How it Works

Raydius is a geofenced, AI-driven networking layer (“social sixth sense”) that helps people discover high-value connections in the same room by finding non-obvious commonalities and then moving the interaction to a face-to-face connection.

1. Detection

Detection is the moment Raydius “scans the room” inside a geofenced Encounter Zone and quietly identifies a high-value match in close proximity (about 50 feet) using Connection DNA—without broadcasting anyone’s location or requiring the user to do anything. It’s intentionally background-native: the system finds the overlap first, then waits to surface it only when it matters.

2. Blind Alert

Blind Alert is the privacy-preserving notification layer: instead of showing a name or photo, Raydius delivers an anonymized “someone nearby…” insight that highlights the specific commonality the AI found (e.g., shared university + a niche interest). The alert is designed to be discreet and action-oriented (via haptics), prompting you to check the why behind the match before you ever try to spot the person in the room.

3. The Reveal

The Reveal is the earned unlock: only after both people actively tap Connect does Raydius lift the veil and disclose identities—names, photos, and exact proximity—so the interaction can move confidently from digital intent to an in-person introduction. This sequencing is the core of the Double-Blind Handshake: no one is exposed without mutual consent.

Competitive Advantage

Defensive Moats

Unlike traditional event apps (Whova, Cvent), Raydius uses deep AI to find hidden, non-obvious commonalities across all facets of life, not just job titles.

Proprietary AI Weighting

The Diamond Match algorithm finds non-obvious commonalities that generic matching cannot replicate, and it improves with every connection made.

The Consent Gate

The Double-Blind Handshake removes the creep factor of location-based apps. This safety protocol is a brand moat that cannot be easily copied without fundamentally changing a competitor’s core product.

Zero-Knowledge Architecture

Raydius is the only social app that can match people deeply without storing sensitive data, making it architecturally un-hackable in a way other social networking apps can never be.

Network Effects

As more venues, events, and corporate campuses become Raydius Encounter Zones, the utility of the app scales exponentially, classic marketplace dynamics.

Networking Infrastructure Layer

Seamless Integration

Raydius supports flexible integration with major app platforms such as LinkedIn, TikTok, Spotify, Google Calendar, and X so users can selectively connect accounts to enrich their Connection DNA.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Learn more on how Raydius can turn Proximity into Possibility.

What is Raydius?

Raydius is a geofenced, AI-driven networking layer (“social sixth sense”) that helps people discover high-value connections in the same room by finding non-obvious commonalities, then moving the interaction to a meaningful face-to-face connection, not endless in-app swiping.

What makes Raydius different from LinkedIn, dating apps, or event apps?

Raydius is optimized for real-time, in-person context: it adds deep AI for hidden commonalities, generates contextual icebreakers, and enforces a consent gate (double-blind handshake)—whereas other platforms are static directories, swipe-based, or lack privacy protection.

How does Raydius decide who’s a great match?

It builds a multi-dimensional Connection DNA—a vectorized “semantic fingerprint” combining professional, cultural, temporal, and intent signals to identify rare “Diamond Matches” with real conversational chemistry.

What is the Double-Blind Handshake?

It’s the Raydius consent-first protocol that keeps identities masked until both people explicitly opt in—removing the “creep factor” of traditional proximity apps and preventing unwanted exposure.

What are the three steps: Detection, Blind Alert, and The Reveal?

Detection runs silently when a strong match is nearby; Blind Alert shows anonymized commonalities only; The Reveal happens only after both tap Connect, unlocking names/photos and exact proximity.

What is an Encounter Zone (and does Raydius track me everywhere)?

Raydius activates only inside high-density geofenced environments (events, venues, campuses). Outside an Encounter Zone, it’s dormant and doesn’t track daily movement or location history.

What accounts/data does Raydius use to build the profile?

Users can link social accounts (e.g., LinkedIn, TikTok, Instagram, DoorDash, Spotify, X) plus short psychographic prompts so the AI can infer interests, affiliations, goals, and personality signals for better matching.

How does Raydius protect privacy and prevent “data broker” behavior?

Raydius uses a “zero-knowledge” approach: raw social data is converted into embeddings and then purged—storing the “coordinates” of interests, not the underlying data—making it architecturally incompatible with selling user data.

How does Raydius achieve indoor proximity accuracy?

It combines Bluetooth LE, Wi-Fi fingerprinting, and GPS geofencing to maintain high-resolution indoor proximity with minimal battery drain—targeting roughly 3–5 meter accuracy in dense, multi-floor venues.

What is Stealth Mode / the Employer Shield?

Stealth Mode is designed for passive candidates and high-value users: the Employer Shield can make you automatically invisible to your employer/competitors at a backend level (the blocked person “does not exist” to your device), and identity stays locked until you approve a connection.
