About Us

Software as a Service, sure. But this is a software company built to serve.

Our Mission

The mission of 6DOS is to provide a better way to authentically connect people.

We believe in protecting our customer’s data. We strive to provide a great platform without the noise of spam, advertisements or selling your information.

Do unto others. Nothing beats the golden rule. If we treat our clients the way we want to be treated we can avoid a lot of pitfalls.
No ads. We will not be dependent on ad revenue, we will deliver value not advertising noise.
No spam. We will do everything possible to prevent spam and unsolicited invites. Violators will be kicked from the platform.
Be trustworthy. Protect user’s data as if it were our own. All info uploaded to 6DOS is only visible by you and is not shared. Period.

Why We Started 6DOS

In 2017, while working for a large consulting company, our founder and CEO sat through an all-day regional planning meeting. Repeatedly, the same questions were being asked:

Does anyone know…
Who can get a meeting with…
Who has connections at company…

The questions were consistently met with silence.

While LinkedIn seemed like a logical place to start, we quickly hit a wall. LinkedIn has become diluted and crowded. It is no longer a place for meaningful relationships or introductions.

Thus began the 6DOS journey. We hope you decide to join, and let us know what you think.

OUR TEAM

Ethan Francis, Founder & CEO

With more than two decades of solution selling and business development experience for F100 enterprises, global consultancies and boutique agencies, Ethan Francis had made more than his share of pitches for new products, services and processes his clients could deploy to make and/or save money. Along the way he’d come up with several business ideas of his own. Some he’d invested a little in along the way, others were just notes scribbled for future use. In the summer of 2018 Ethan decided to leave consulting and forge his own path. He had a few ideas for software products that might have mass appeal, both of which had garnered interest from prospective customers and investors alike. He recognized he needed help, though; thinking of great solutions and turning them into reality are two very different things after all.
