The people building ALINE.

What if the professional network of the future isn't a network at all? Andrew Line is building the answer.

Andrew brings more than two decades of professional experience, including 15 years in Big Four consulting, where his career was built around solving complex problems, navigating transformation, and building relationships across organizations and industries.

Along the way, he experienced a problem that even a large professional network couldn't solve: how do you find the right person you don't already know? Especially when that person might already be in the room.

That question became the foundation for ALINE.

Andrew envisioned a fundamentally different approach to professional connection, one built around proximity, real-time mutual intent, and what people need next, rather than who they already know.

Today, he's leading ALINE from idea to emerging platform, bringing together technology, community, and human behavior to rethink how professional relationships begin.

Because the future of networking shouldn't mean more time scrolling through people. It should mean more time actually meeting them.

The right person might already be in the room. Andrew and the ALINE team are building a better way to find them.

Most college students are preparing to enter the future of work. Malik Harouna is helping build it.

Malik is a computer science student and Startup Scholar at San Francisco Bay University whose early career already spans technology, design, and entrepreneurship, including experience with AWS and Apple's Design Mentorship.

That combination of technical curiosity and entrepreneurial thinking is now powering one of ALINE's biggest ambitions: using technology to make the right professional connection discoverable in real time.

As Co-Founder and CTO, Malik is helping architect the technology behind ALINE, translating proximity, mutual intent, and real-time signals into something remarkably human: a conversation between two people who have a reason to meet.

It's an ambitious technical challenge. It also represents a fundamentally different way of thinking about networking technology.

Instead of designing another platform that keeps professionals scrolling, Malik is helping build technology designed to move people from digital discovery to real-world interaction.

He represents a new generation of technologists who aren't simply preparing for what comes next. They're building it.

And Malik is just getting started.

She walked into a networking event to meet new people. Then spent most of the night talking to people she already knew.

That experience exposed a problem hiding in plain sight.

Skylar brings an entrepreneurial operator's perspective to ALINE, with experience building operations at The Lab, founding the B3 Fearless Foundation, and contributing to Philadelphia's professional community through the Greater Philadelphia Chamber's Young Professionals Council Advisory Board.

Her career has consistently put her at the intersection of people, operations, entrepreneurship, and community building. Which makes the problem ALINE is solving especially personal.

A room can be filled with incredible people and possibilities, but opportunity remains invisible if you don't know who you're supposed to meet. At ALINE, Skylar is helping change that.

As COO, she's building the partnerships, operations, and community infrastructure needed to take an ambitious idea and turn it into a platform that can scale.

Her focus is helping pioneer a model of professional connection where mutual intent replaces guesswork and technology makes the opportunities around us easier to discover. Because the next client, collaborator, mentor, or opportunity shouldn't be left entirely to chance.

The potential is already in the room. Skylar is helping build the engine that unlocks it.

Zach has spent over a decade building the kinds of professional communities that most companies only talk about.

As an HR leader, board director, entrepreneur, restaurateur, and longtime force with national organizations like Ascend, Zach has been in the rooms where real connection happens. Not the "scan a badge and move on" kind. The kind where people find mentors, collaborators, and allies who change the trajectory of their careers.

That's exactly what ALINE is building the technology to scale.

Zach brings something we can't engineer in code: an instinct for how communities actually form, what makes people feel seen at an event, and how to tell stories that make a mission stick. His background spans brand strategy, cultural advocacy, hospitality, and the operational side of partnerships. He's built programming for thousands of professionals across industries and geographies. He knows what it takes to get people in the room and what it takes to make the room matter.

For ALINE, this is personal. We started because we believed technology should shorten the path between "I'm here" and "I found my person." Zach has been doing that work his entire career, long before there was an app for it.

We didn't just grow the team. We brought in someone who lives the mission.
