February 27, 2026 ☕ Building Introd in Public: The Hidden Layer of Your Network

You probably have 1,000+ connections.

But how many would actually take your call?

That question is why we started building Introd.


🧠 What we’re building

Introd is a relationship intelligence engine.

It maps your network, scores relationship strength (TrustRank), and finds the best path to any introduction—not just the obvious one.

Because here’s the truth:

The intro that changes your life is usually 2–3 hops away
You just can’t see it.


📉 The problem nobody talks about

Your network is quietly decaying.

  • Relationships lose ~15% strength per year without contact

  • That “strong connection” from 2 years ago? Probably cold now

  • Most founders only realize this when they need something

That’s when intros don’t land.


🔗 What actually works (from our data)

We’ve seen this across hundreds of founders:

  • Cold outreach → ~2% response rate

  • Weak warm intro → ~20–30%

  • High TrustRank intro → 60–70%+

Same person. Same pitch.

Different path → completely different outcome.


🤖 Where AI comes in

We’re building an AI Chief of Staff for your network.

It:

  • Surfaces who you should reach out to

  • Finds the strongest intro paths

  • Nudges you before relationships decay

  • Drafts intro messages for you

All running quietly in the background.


🚀 Why I’m sharing this

We’re building Introd in public.

That means:

  • Sharing what works (and what doesn’t)

  • Breaking down real fundraising + networking tactics

  • Showing how AI can actually be useful in day-to-day work

If you’re a founder, investor, or operator—this stuff compounds.


🙏 If this was useful

If you’re into:

  • Better networking (not fake LinkedIn advice)

  • Fundraising playbooks that actually work

  • AI tools that save time instead of wasting it

Consider supporting the build ☕

Or just follow along—I’ll keep sharing everything.

    The interesting tension is whether relationship strength can actually predict intro outcomes, rather than just make the network easier to visualize. Curious what progress you’re seeing with Introd so far — are early users getting more successful warm intros, or is proving that correlation still the harder part?
