The A Team Project
A professional network where trust is the signal. Every member keeps a Top 8 of people they’d gladly work with again, and each one comes with a written referral. Around that core, Chippy helps members write referrals, prepare for interviews and find work that fits. Below are deep dives into the parts designed here.
