Find 10 people worth meeting in 10 minutes, and know why each one fits. Never send a cold message again. A cofounder. An investor. A client. Your first hire. A mentor. Whoever your next step depends on. You don't need 500 more connections, you need the few people who fit what you're building. THE PROBLEM Right now you are the algorithm. You research who to approach, you write the messages, you follow up, and most of them are never answered. Events cost thousands and you meet whoever happens to be standing nearby. The right person is usually one introduction away and completely invisible to you. HOW 2CONNECT WORKS Tell Linc, your introduction agent, who you need to meet. Just say it. Linc finds them, scores both sides, and brings back a short list of people who fit, each with the reason why. • Just talk to Linc. Say who you need to meet, out loud, the way you'd brief a colleague. No forms, no blank profile. Prefer typing? That works too. • Linc keeps working for you. It spots when you need someone new, suggests a search, and sets it up when you say yes. • Run every search at once. Cofounder, investor, first hire, clients. One profile, as many searches as you like, pause or stop any of them. • Both sides say yes, or nothing happens. No cold messages. No being ignored. • Every match comes with the reason. You see why before you spend anything. • Verified people. Email, then phone, then ID. More verification, higher priority. • Private. Look for a cofounder without announcing it to the internet. • Your credit is held, not spent. It comes back if they don't accept. It comes back if the match wasn't right. START FREE Five credits when you sign up. Browsing is free, and your credit is held, not spent, until the other person accepts. Once your free credits are used, more credits require a purchase. You can buy credits on their own, or subscribe for a monthly allowance: • 2Connect Basic, 10 credits a month • 2Connect Pro, 20 credits a month Both are auto-renewing monthly subscriptions. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase, and renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple ID settings.
