# Topliner

**Topliner** (`topliner.app`) is an AI-powered executive search platform. It became relevant to [[Jan_Wilmake]]'s network through **Arsen Ibragimov** and **Wijnand Karsens**, who connected Jan with opportunities during his 2026 job search.

## Connection to Jan Wilmake

On May 11, 2026, Jan had a ~35-minute Google Meet call with **Arsen Ibragimov** — connected through Wijnand Karsens, who appears to be associated with Topliner and/or recruitment firm **The Big Search**. Prior to the call, Jan researched both Arsen's and Wijnand's LinkedIn profiles and The Big Search company page.

During or after the call, Jan showed the [[Self-Driving_Repos]] landing page at `selfdrivingrepo.com` — demonstrating it as a portfolio piece.

## Platform

Topliner positions itself as an AI-powered executive search tool. Jan first visited the Topliner website on the morning of May 11, 2026 during meeting preparation.

## Wijnand Karsens and the Moyai Connection

On May 19, 2026, **Wijnand Karsens** appeared as a participant in Jan's intro call with [[Moyai]] alongside co-founder Robert Hommes. This revealed that Wijnand — who had connected Jan to Arsen Ibragimov and the Topliner ecosystem on May 11 — is also directly involved in the Moyai evaluation pipeline. The overlap suggests Wijnand serves as an active advisor, investor, or talent scout across multiple companies in Jan's job search network, making him a significantly more important node than initially understood.
