Connect The Dots wants to help people better leverage their professional networks. Its platform examines your and your coworkers’ connections to create a comprehensive database of who you know, and if those connections are on Connect The Dots, who they know as well. When you’d like to get an intro to someone outside your network, Connect The Dots can tell you which connections have the strongest link to them.

🔮 Our Analysis
When companies need an introduction, connections mean everything. Whether a company adopts a new technology or whether a sale is made to a customer often hinges on the strength of the connection between the point of contact and the recipient of the introduction. But how exactly do you determine the strength of a connection? Connect The Dots’ business software uses a number of sources, like email headers and signatures and LinkedIn profiles, to create a graph of who knows who across different companies—in other words, it’s connecting the dots between people you know and people you might want to meet. These insights can help save time and improve the likelihood that you’ll get a high-quality introduction. The personal edition of Connect The Dots also enables you to manage your own network and leverage your professional network. These use cases make us excited for the future of Connect The Dots.
