AyoAdo Inc.
Linktree can grow with AyoAdo innovation.
Digital identity.
AyoAdo (2017 - 2022) is your digital identity and centralized hub for connecting with others. To start, you simply fill out your bio and add your social handles. Once connected, people will be able to view your digital identity all in one place, including your contact information and recent posts. When connecting with others, we provide you with tools to make exchanges easy and assure that you add your boss on networks like LinkedIn and your friends on TikTok.
How does it work?
We all use networks and applications differently. When adding a network to AyoAdo, you categorize handles based on your needs. The default categories are ‘Personal’ and ‘Professional’ with the option to add custom groups. It would be typical for someone to add networks like LinkedIn and Gmail to their Professional profile and TikTok and Instagram to a Personal profile. A businessperson who sells products on Instagram might categorize their networks in a totally different manner. You ultimately decide how to categorize and manage your tools.
What does an exchange look like?
When connecting with someone, you receive their AyoAdo profile. You can choose to “Add All Connections”, which will add them to your Contact Home and on all shared networks, or you can pick and choose networks individually at a later time. It’s important to note that a receiving party will never know what ‘category’ of connections you sent. It’s simply a way for you to stay organized and only send what you feel comfortable sharing. Your Contact Home is neatly organized with synced social icons listed under each contact’s name.
Powerful Tools
-
1: QR Code
When AyoAdo was initially pitched, one of the biggest critiques was the QR code function. It was believed that the technology was outdated and going away - today we know that’s certainly not the case. AyoAdo’s QR code has wallet functionality to quickly switch relationship types and activate public profile-sharing. Codes can be printed on promotional materials.

2: Add Nearby
Imagine you’re networking at a business function, a college student meeting new friends at the bar, or Taylor Swift getting ready to perform in a packed stadium: wouldn’t it be great if there was a way to connect with your audience or the people around you? AyoAdo allows the local sharing of public profiles. You are never far from forming new connections.

3. Browse Publicly
With AyoAdo, you can swipe through public profiles (like Tinder) to see what is popular and trending in your area. This feature allows you to make connections that you never would’ve imagined possible before. Instead of Googling, “Sushi Near Me,” swipe through Sushi restaurant profiles in your community, view their Instagram posts, and add their takeout number and address to Contact Home.

4: Web Mini Profile
AyoAdo’s Web Mini Profile is nearly identical to Linktree’s format. The benefit of allowing users to share their limited profile with non-users as a text, in a private message, or in an Instagram bio demonstrates usability and marketability. I’ve included additional mockups below to show what v1.0 of Linktree x AyoAdo integration would look like.

5: Augmented Reality
We aim to be at the forefront of digital identity as the world moves away from links and brings code to the subsurface of our physical world. Our goal is to be the top downloaded app for wearables, Apple Vision-like products, and other AR/VR platforms. The need to form connections and protect your identity is never going away.

6: Centralized Security
AyoAdo incorporates two-factor authorization for your social media profiles. The AyoAdo account will eventually be the most trusted master key for signing in to third-party web-based services (similar to using Google or Facebook for logins) based on verified account tallies.
