Your LinkedIn inbox needs a filter.
CalInvite turns cold LinkedIn meeting requests into qualified conversations. Send one simple reply, let the person requesting your time make a small commitment, and only serious people unlock your calendar.
Let serious people identify themselves.
Everybody can reach you. Not everybody should reach your calendar.
LinkedIn made professional access almost frictionless. That created opportunity, but it also created an inbox full of sales pitches, recruiters, agencies, vendors, founders, introductions, advice requests, and people who “just want 15 minutes.”
The problem is not cold outreach itself. Some of those messages could turn into customers, partnerships, investments, hires, ideas, or relationships worth having. The problem is having no efficient way to separate real intent from noise.
CalInvite sits between the LinkedIn message and your calendar. Serious people still have a path to you. Everyone else filters themselves out.
Built around the moment somebody asks for your time.
CalInvite is not trying to become another general-purpose scheduling platform. It gives you a consistent system for handling unsolicited meeting requests without ignoring everyone or handing everyone unrestricted access to your calendar.
Filter cold LinkedIn requests
When someone asks for your time, send one response and let CalInvite qualify the request before it ever reaches your calendar.
LinkedIn Auto-Reply Generator
Choose how you want to sound and generate a response that explains your CalInvite without sounding robotic, awkward, or defensive.
Payment before availability
Your open times stay locked until the sender makes the $15 commitment. Intent comes before calendar access.
Multiple calendars
Connect the calendars that actually make up your life so work, personal, family, and business commitments protect your availability.
Your public CalInvite
Choose your own handle and create a profile with your photo, headline, company, bio, social links, and booking message.
No monthly subscription
There is no recurring SaaS bill for the core model. CalInvite makes money when a qualified paid conversation actually happens.
One reply turns your inbox into a filter.
Instead of deciding whether every cold message deserves a meeting, give serious people a clear path forward. Choose your tone, generate the response, and include your personal CalInvite link.
From cold LinkedIn DM to qualified conversation.
You do not need to manually investigate every person who asks for your time. Give them the next step and let their behavior tell you how serious they are.
Show them time you are actually free.
Your availability probably does not live in one place. Connect the calendars that make up your real life so CalInvite can protect your existing commitments before offering a qualified visitor a time.
Give your LinkedIn inbox a destination.
Choose your CalInvite handle, build your public profile, and use one link whenever somebody asks for access to your time.
The paid call is the mechanism. The inbox filter is the product.
There are already tools that let people charge for consultations, coaching, and appointments. CalInvite is focused on a different moment: somebody you do not know enters your LinkedIn inbox and asks for your time.
Without CalInvite
With CalInvite
The $12 is not the point. Intent is.
The guest pays $15 and you keep $12. CalInvite covers card processing fees from the remaining balance. The payout is useful, but the real value is knowing somebody was willing to put something behind the request before consuming your time.
People are ready for a better answer to cold meeting requests.
The idea is simple: do not shut the door on cold outreach. Give people a way to prove they actually want the conversation.
“OMG. I can finally set an auto-responder to every cold LinkedIn DM: “Absolutely. Here’s my CalInvite.””
Jordache Johnson“Someone wants to “pick my brain” for 15 minutes? Great. My brain has a cover charge now.”
Jason Aron“I used to ignore cold emails for free. Apparently I’ve been leaving money on the table this entire time.”
Ludwig Araujo“I get asked for “just 15 minutes” constantly. Turns out those 15 minutes can buy lunch. Capitalism is beautiful.”
Adam Benjamin“This might be the first cold outreach tool where the person getting cold outreached is actually rooting for you.”
Rikin Diwan“You want to pitch me? Absolutely. For $15 I’ll sit there, maintain eye contact and everything.”
Henry Havey“Can I pick your brain? Sure. You can rent it.”
Vishaal Pandiya“I’ve been taking random meetings for free for years like an idiot.”
Erik Elfstrum“It’s like I set it and get a free Chipotle burrito every time somebody wants me to set aside 15 minutes.”
Logan Fields“Cold email me. DM me. Pitch me your revolutionary idea. I genuinely don’t care anymore. There’s a cover charge.”
Vic Nichols“Wait. You’re telling me people can still pitch me all day, but now they have to buy me lunch first? I’m listening.”
Lisa Blake“My calendar used to be where productivity went to die. Now apparently it’s a revenue stream.”

Julee GraceyThe obvious questions. Answered.
CalInvite is intentionally focused. It is a filter between unsolicited meeting requests and your calendar. Here is how the qualification, payment, scheduling, and LinkedIn workflow work.
CalInvite is a filter for cold meeting requests, especially the ones arriving through LinkedIn. Instead of immediately giving someone access to your calendar, you send them your CalInvite link. They make a $15 commitment before seeing your availability, then choose an open 15-minute slot. You keep $12.
No. Paid conversations are the mechanism, not the main problem CalInvite is solving. CalInvite is designed to help people filter unsolicited meeting requests before those requests reach their calendar.
LinkedIn makes it easy for almost anyone to reach almost anyone else. That creates opportunity, but it also creates a lot of cold pitches, meeting requests, recruiting messages, vendor outreach, and “can I grab 15 minutes?” messages. CalInvite gives you a consistent way to respond without ignoring everyone or giving everyone your calendar.
Because sometimes direct access to the right person is worth more than another unanswered message. The payment creates a small amount of friction that helps distinguish real intent from casual or mass outreach.
Then the filter worked. CalInvite is not designed to maximize the number of people who reach your calendar. It is designed to give serious people a clear path while reducing low-intent meeting requests.
Not really. Traditional scheduling tools answer “When are you available?” CalInvite answers a different question first: “Should this person get access to your availability?” Scheduling happens after intent is qualified.
There is no monthly subscription for the core CalInvite model. The guest pays $15 for a 15-minute conversation, the host keeps $12, and CalInvite covers payment processing fees from the remaining balance.
After payment. Until the $15 commitment is completed, your available time slots stay locked.
Yes. CalInvite is designed around the reality that your availability may exist across multiple calendars. Work, personal, another business, and other commitments can all help protect the times CalInvite offers.
Your connected calendars help determine when you are actually free, and the confirmed meeting is added to the calendar destination you configure for bookings.
Yes. You can choose a custom CalInvite handle and use a public link such as calinvite.com/yourname. Your profile can also include your photo, headline, company, bio, social links, and booking message.
It helps you create the response you send when someone cold messages you asking for your time. Choose a tone such as professional, empathetic, direct, authoritative, funny, or more provocative, and CalInvite generates a response that can include your personal CalInvite link.
CalInvite is built for anyone who receives more unsolicited meeting requests than they want to manually evaluate, including founders, executives, operators, investors, advisors, creators, consultants, recruiters, and professionals with active LinkedIn networks.
Not primarily. The $12 payout is useful, but the bigger value is qualification. A small financial commitment creates a stronger signal of intent than another free scheduling request.
Stop filtering LinkedIn requests manually.
Create your CalInvite, choose your handle, connect your calendars, generate the response you want to send, and give serious people a clear path from your LinkedIn inbox to a qualified conversation.
