Puvio
Our story
Puvio keeps one record of your work and uses it twice. While you are looking: fit on the posting, who to ask, and a note you copy and send. After you land: a win log for review season. You send every message. Puvio never logs into LinkedIn.

That cohort, self-measured
Public sales research, not ours
Was about 34 minutes by hand

In my second year I applied for internships the way everyone does. Portals, generic emails, LinkedIn connection requests that vanished. Automated rejections if I was lucky. Usually silence.
I got frustrated enough to test a different path. I wrote to founders and CXOs on LinkedIn, but only after reading them. A recent post. A shipping problem. One specific observation. No template. No pitch. Research compressed into one relevant note.
People replied. Not just politely. I got conversations I had no business getting on college name alone. The pattern was ugly and simple: a generic note signals you did not look. A researched note signals the opposite, before you have said a word about yourself.
Doing that properly took me about 34 minutes a note. Research, synthesis, draft, edit. Still no guarantee it would land.
So I built a tool that ran the same loop in under 90 seconds in our timed internal runs. Same job: know the person, know the company, write a note you can actually send.
That tool was the seed. It was not yet a career system. It was a faster way to be specific.
The first version of Puvio went out quietly in July 2025. Friends, a handful of professionals, no launch post. Just a link.
About 240 people used it. Researched LinkedIn outreach in that cohort hit about a 34% reply rate, self-measured for July 2025 to February 2026. That is not a current production average. We do not publish a live reply rate we cannot stand behind.

Talking to those users was the useful part. Job-search burnout is not one desperate week. It is years of tabs, memory, and tools that forget you the moment you get in.
The first product had a structural bug. A job, an internship, a reply that turned into a loop: each success meant the person left. We had optimized a leaky bucket.
A tool that only helps you land dies the day you succeed. Trackers and résumé scanners have the same shape. They are for the hunt. They go quiet when you are hired, which is when you need a record of what you actually shipped.
We stopped asking how to get someone hired faster. We asked what they need across the whole arc: search, employed years, and the next move.
Write the work down once. While you are looking, Puvio uses that record for fit on a posting, alumni and people at the company, and a drafted note you copy and send. After you land, the same record becomes a win log. Review season uses evidence you already captured.
You still browse roles wherever you browse them. You still send from your own LinkedIn. Puvio never logs in, never auto-sends, never mass-sends, never auto-applies.
Inside the app, those jobs still have mode names. A first-time visitor does not need them. The product is the record, used twice.
V2 shipped in July 2026. What you see on puvio.app is the rebuilt system: one work record, job search and wins on the same spine.
We are early. About 240 people in the first beta is a cohort, not a census. Reply-rate numbers from that cohort stay labeled as self-measured and dated. If a public page is wrong, email privacy@puvio.app with the URL. Material corrections get updated on the page.
The job market still filters for visibility, timing, and whether you can put your work in front of someone who can help you in. Most tools optimize spray or keyword games. This one is built for the other path: know the role, know who to ask, send a note that proves you did the homework, and keep a record so promotions are not a scramble from memory.
People do not respond to information. They respond to feeling understood.
