Your network already knows who you should meet
Invite your investors, advisors, and customers to share their connections in under a minute. Search across all of them, see real evidence of who knows whom, and get a thoughtful intro request ready to forward.
Someone asked you to share your connections? Here's what that means →“Let me know if I can ever be helpful.”
People say it all the time, and most of them mean it. The single highest-leverage thing they could do for you is make the right intro at the right moment. But in practice it almost never happens, for four very human reasons.
They don't know your ICP like you do.
And they're not going to sit down and learn it. So they offer up whoever comes to mind, which is rarely the person you actually need.
You define the ICP once. Distill searches every connection they've shared against it, so they never have to guess who you need.
They can't remember who they know.
Someone they haven't spoken to in five years would still open their email. But that person isn't going to surface from memory when they're trying to think of who might help you.
Every connection is searchable, not just the ones they remember. The old coworker they'd never think to mention shows up if they fit.
They don't know where people work now.
The junior PM they worked with three years ago might be a VP at your top target account today. Their mental map of their own network is years out of date.
Distill enriches every connection with where they work today and what that company does, so you find people by their current role, not the one your contact remembers.
They don't want to burn a bridge.
Pushing you onto a connection with a half-baked pitch makes them look bad. So they hesitate, and the intro never happens.
They only ever forward a thoughtful note that shows the evidence and explains why the target would care. Nothing to write, nothing to be embarrassed by.
This is easier than you think
No CSVs, Google Sheets or exports required.
Invite your network
Distill lets you invite anyone using a simple invite link. For the recipient, it takes less than a minute to sign up and securely share their connection list with you.
Distill finds the people who fit
Distill does deep research on every person and company your network has shared, figures out how everyone is connected, and rank-orders who's most likely to be a great customer. It can even build your ICP from your website.
Distill drafts the intro request
Distill drafts personalized and thoughtful messages to your contacts asking them to make the intro. It references their real relationship with the target person so it doesn't feel like a template.
A thoughtful ask gets forwarded. A lazy one gets ignored.
When you ask a mutual for an intro, you're really asking them to spend a little of their reputation. They'll happily do it if the message makes them look good: it shows you understand why the target would actually want to hear from you, and it references how the two of them know each other. They won't do it if forwarding it would make them look careless, or if they'd have to go do the research themselves first.
Writing an ask that thoughtful takes real time, twenty or thirty minutes per person if you do it right, which is why almost nobody does. Distill drafts it in seconds from the evidence it already found. You review, tweak if you want, and forward.
If you're the one being asked
Your connections stay yours.
An investor went to college with someone who's now a public company VP of Engineering. They forwarded the email Distill sent for me, the VP said 'sure' to a quick meeting, and so far it's a $2.4M POC. The investor loved it as an excuse to reconnect and be helpful, and it took them about two minutes. This wouldn't have happened without Distill.
