Frequently asked questions
Questions, meet answers.
The essentials about privacy, capability proofs, invitations and how the invr network works.
01
Getting started
What invr is, who it is for and how to join.
What is invr?
invr—pronounced like “inviter”—is the consumer-facing invitation service for the SilverAspen Network. It helps you privately represent your capabilities and receive relevant invitations to roles, missions, grants, mentoring, peer circles, teams and ventures.
There is no public directory of people to browse. An opportunity comes to you, and you decide whether to continue.
Who is invr for?
invr is for people who want the right professional opportunities to find them without making their identity and history publicly searchable.
Our first community is cybersecurity, beginning in Virginia and building next toward California and London. The network is designed to expand into more capabilities, professions and regions over time.
How do I join?
Download the invr app from the App Store or Google Play and complete onboarding there. You will create a private way for the invitation service to reach you and choose which capabilities you want represented.
02
Privacy and control
What is visible, what stays private and who makes each disclosure decision.
Am I publicly searchable?
No. invr is not a public people directory. Organizations express a need, and the service looks for a relevant capability match without exposing a browsable list of names, faces, employers or work histories.
What information does invr need?
The invitation service is designed to work with proofs of professional capabilities rather than conventional personally identifying profile data. A credential can be selectively disclosed or redacted so that it proves a relevant capability without revealing unrelated personal information.
See the Privacy Notice for the current details about information handling.
Who decides what I share?
You do. A match can result in a private invitation and an out-of-band introduction. You decide whether to accept it and what information, credentials or contact details to share with the potential employer, mentor, coach, peer circle or venture.
Do SilverAspen services share my data with one another?
No. SilverAspen services operate as separate service and data contexts. A verification service does not send its account, identity, credential or activity data to invr.
If you use one service to create a proof, that proof returns to you. You then decide whether to present it in another context.
03
Matches and invitations
How opportunities find capabilities without turning people into inventory.
How does a match work?
An organization or network participant expresses a real capability need. invr checks whether a relevant capability exists and, when there is a potential match, sends a private message to the matching person’s peerwise decentralized identifier.
The organization learns that a relevant capability may exist—not that it can browse your identity.
What can I be invited to?
Invitations can include roles, missions, grants, teams, mentoring, coaching, peer circles, professional connections and new ventures. A job is one possible outcome, but it is not the definition of the network.
Do I have to accept an invitation?
No. An invitation is yours to consider. You can decline, accept an introduction, ask for more context or decide that the opportunity is not right for you. Nothing is shared with the other party unless you choose to continue.
04
Capabilities and verification
How you can prove what you can do while limiting what you reveal.
What is a capability proof?
A capability proof is evidence that supports a professional claim—for example, that you hold a credential, completed relevant work or demonstrated a skill. It is designed to confirm what matters for a match without requiring a full public profile.
Do I have to reveal my identity to prove a capability?
Not for the initial capability match. A proof can omit or selectively disclose identifying fields. If you decide to continue with a connection, you choose whether and when revealing your identity is appropriate.
Who verifies credentials?
Multiple SilverAspen services can assist with identity and capability verification. They operate separately from invr and from one another. The resulting proof is controlled by you; the verification service does not automatically share its underlying data with the invitation service or a connection.
05
Organizations and grants
How organizations express demand and help important capabilities grow.
How can organizations participate?
Organizations can express the missions, outcomes and capabilities they need, then privately invite relevant people when a match exists. They do not receive a searchable catalogue of individuals.
Organizations interested in participating can contact partnerships@silveaspen.com.
How do grants support talent?
An organization can signal a capability it believes will matter and support people who want to develop it. That support may fund credentials, training, mentoring, applied work or another defined development path.
Can participating organizations see my profile?
They cannot browse a public invr profile or a directory of participants. They can express a need and receive a signal that a relevant capability may exist. You decide whether an introduction continues and what you disclose after that.
06
Account and data
Leaving the service, deletion and where to find the governing documents.
What happens when I disconnect from invr?
When you disconnect from the invitation service, invr stops matching against your peerwise identifier and deletes information about you that is under its control, subject only to limited legal, security and operational exceptions described in the Privacy Notice.
How do I request access, correction or deletion?
Use the controls available in the app or email privacy@invr.ai. We may need to verify that the request comes from the person connected to the relevant peerwise identifier before acting on it.
Where can I read the policies?
