What you need
- an Introd account
- a LinkedIn account you actively use
- Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 access if you want stronger evidence right away
- one person or company you actually want to reach
Setup in five steps
- Create your account and finish sign-in. You should land in onboarding, not an empty workspace.
- Connect your network. Sync LinkedIn and trusted sources to build the first relationship graph.
- Discover warm paths. Let Introd analyze communities, mutual connections, and trusted paths before you make an ask.
- Join relevant communities. Alumni, investor, operator, and company networks improve context and reach.
- Launch your first mission or search a real target. Open the route, review the connector, and only create a request if the evidence is credible.
What success looks like
After a healthy first setup, you should be able to:- search for a person or company that matters now
- see at least one ranked connector or a truthful “not enough evidence” state
- understand why the suggested route is strong or weak
- draft your first introduction request without rewriting all the context by hand
If you do not see warm paths yet
Usually one of these is true:- LinkedIn has not finished syncing
- Google or Microsoft evidence has not been connected yet
- the target is outside your current network coverage
- the route exists, but the evidence is too weak or stale to recommend confidently
