Sophie Streetley · Founder
Founder's vision
Hi, I'm Sophie, a working mum of three. I wanted to find the right people to podcast with, and there was no simple way to do it. Every search turned into hours of cold outreach.
When we shop online, we filter by category, fit and size. So why can't we do the same to find the right people?
Prosotto is a private space to connect with real intent. No algorithm, no content feed. Anything worth sharing, you share directly with the person you're connecting with.
The vision: bring back real professional relationships, where a simple coffee can become a success story.

Questions people ask
Prosotto is a private professional network, free to join. Find the right people near you by location, industry and what you're looking for, then talk privately or meet for coffee. No feed, no algorithm deciding who you meet.
Use the filters: choose a location, an industry and a goal such as clients, collaborators, podcast guests, mentors or investors. You see only the members who match, and you message them one to one, privately.
Open the Prosotto events hub at prosotto.com/networking-events and pick your city or a topic such as tech, startup, AI, HR or property. Each page lists real upcoming professional events, linked to the official organiser page, and members can see who else is going.
