Incredibly useful
I've been using this app for a couple of weeks now and I keep finding new ways to use it.
Example: last week at a dinner party I realized the person I was talking to knew a good friend of mine. I wanted to tell our friend we met but I never actually caught their name. All I had was their first name, our mutual friend, and a vague sense of their background. Put that into Happenstance and it found them! there must be like hundreds of people with that first name in our mutual network, but it just worked and figured out which one.
mostly, I use Happenstance for the normal stuff: warm intros when looking to meet cool people or hiring, but it keeps surprising me like this.

Made an actual friend from this
Moved to SF in August knowing like 4 people. Asked who in my extended network was here and it came back with a friend of a friend from college. We’ve been hanging out every week since. Not what I expected from an app I downloaded to find warm leads for my business, but I’m glad I found Happenstance!

Good for recruiting
Best and maybe only tool on the market for searching across all of my social networks. Was able to easily find candidates I completely forgot I’m connected to
