Replay the relationship Who do we know? A key hire. A new market. A reference before the partner meeting. Every fund asks the same relationship question.
So you post in Slack. Send an email. Text a partner. Hope someone sees it—and remembers the right person.
The relationship may already be there. But the context is scattered across colleagues, inboxes and years of conversations.
There’s a better way ↓
The next hire. A colleague’s former teammate could be the sales leader your portfolio company needs.
The next market. A founder’s trusted advisor has already helped a company make the same move.
The next decision. A partner’s working relationship gives you a reference with firsthand experience.
The relationship was there all along.
