  • LinkedIn but for interests. Instead of searching a company name and seeing which mutuals work there, you can search an activity / interest / book / movie and see which mutuals have done / read / seen / thought about the same topic. People don’t have a huge appetite to meet with strangers, but if you know 1,000 people and they all know 1,000 people then you’re 1 intro away from 1 million people. Mutual friends. Weak ties.
    • You can host events around these topics and garner interests. Strengthen connection within existing network. E.g. host a book club for some book or go play tennis etc.
  • 1:1 network
    • Create a survey and have people send it to their friends who might be interested in connecting with interesting people
    • Might be manual at first, I create the intro
    • I’ll end up with a big data base, lots of ways to use it
    • Ask for emails and consider creating a newsletter
    • Could create events, benchmark certain data points, etc.
    • Could schedule dinners in the city for people with certain interests
    • Ask what people are experts on and what they want to learn about and match people that way.
