June 3, 2025 — New York, NY — In a world flooded with spam, fake profiles, and unverified communication, Nerve Brands is building a messaging app that changes everything: Entity, a secure, verified platform exclusively for real businesses and real teams.


Designed to be the WhatsApp for companies, Entity is built from the ground up to create trust, structure, and opportunity inside business communications.


What Is Entity?

Entity is a professional messaging platform built for businesses that want verified, direct, and safe communication. Every account on Entity is linked to a valid EIN (Employer Identification Number), ensuring that users are legitimate organizations or registered business operators.

No bots. No burner accounts. No fluff. Just real people doing real business.


How It Works

  • Verification via EINUsers must register with a company EIN and confirm their role (CEO, CMO, Head of Sales, etc.) to create a profile.

  • Team OnboardingOnce a business is verified, it can build its team by inviting employees to create profiles under its organization—creating a full internal communications hub.

  • Cross-Business MessagingVerified professionals can safely message and network with other verified businesses, search by service, industry, or geography, and connect with confidence.

  • Custom ProfilesUsers can showcase what they do, who they serve, and what they need—from design and finance to manufacturing, logistics, and marketing.

💼 Why Nerve Built Entity

“We’re building businesses every day. The problem? Communication is broken,”
“Entity is our answer. We needed a space where businesses could connect without middlemen, gatekeepers, or noise, and know exactly who they were talking to.”

Nerve saw a gap in the ecosystem: Slack works inside companies, LinkedIn is bloated and public, and WhatsApp lacks identity security. Entity sits in the middle, purpose-built for daily, high-trust communication between real operators.
