use cases
One network. Many ways to use it.
Job hunts, fundraising, sales, hiring, call prep, posting and teams. Each one starts with the same question: who do I already know who can help?
For job seekers
Get referred instead of applying cold
“Who can refer me into a design role at Figma?”
For founders
Reach investors through people they trust
“Who can introduce me to seed investors in fintech?”
For sales teams
Find a warm way into target accounts
“Do I know anyone at companies on my target account list?”
For hiring managers
Source candidates your team already vouches for
“Who in my network would make a great senior engineer referral?”
Before any call
Know what they care about before you say hello
“linkedin.com/in/daniel-reyes · call tomorrow. What does he care about?”
For anyone who posts
Get your posts in front of the right people
“Who should I tag in my post about cold outreach?”
For teams
Search everyone’s network at once
“Does anyone on our team know someone at Anthropic?”
