The best path to connect with anyone: An interview with Alex Devkar - Co-founder and CEO of Conspire
Have you ever wanted to connect with billionaire Mark Cuban? How about contacting a venture capitalist or some other business professional that you don't know?
Conspire can show you the path of least resistance. Think LinkedIn but on a more intimate level. We all know that LinkedIn can be a great way to keep in touch with people you've already met, but where do you turn when you actually need to meet a specific individual? Do you spam them with connection requests or Facebook messages? How's that working out for you?
With Conspire you no longer have to do that. With a network of nearly 40 million people, all you have to do is sign up and Conspire will analyze your email and show you the quickest way to gain a warm introduction (keyword: WARM). Type in the name of the person you're looking to connect with (i.e. Mark Cuban) and Conspire shows you who in your network knows someone that knows someone that knows Mark (Think Six Degrees of Separation). The network is growing every day so, it's only a matter of time before you can find, well...ANYONE.

What's most important...It's not just build a product, hope people love it, see if they love it or not. Really diving in deeper, talking to users, talking to any of the stakeholders in your company and making sure you get that deep appreciation for why something isn't working or working..."
