Draftboard Warm Intro Agent

Product Introduction

1. Draftboard Warm Intro Agent is an autonomous network-mapping tool that identifies optimal warm introduction paths to target prospects within a user’s existing professional connections. It eliminates manual research by analyzing LinkedIn and other professional networks to surface the strongest mutual connections for sales, fundraising, recruiting, or other outreach goals.
2. The core value lies in transforming underutilized networks into actionable opportunities by prioritizing human relationships over cold outreach, achieving 3.5x higher response rates and 4x higher meeting booking rates compared to cold emails.

Main Features

1. The AI-powered relationship scoring engine evaluates connections based on work history, education, location, seniority, and shared affiliations to rank intro paths. It dynamically updates scores as networks grow or change.
2. A Chrome extension automatically maps a user’s LinkedIn connections and second-degree networks, identifying paths to prospects without requiring manual data entry or third-party integrations.
3. Teams functionality pools connections across an organization, enabling collaborative prospecting and identifying the best-suited team member to request an intro, with shared dashboards for tracking intro statuses and outcomes.

Problems Solved

1. The product eliminates the inefficiency of manually searching mutual connections across platforms, which often leads to missed opportunities and wasted time. Users no longer need to juggle multiple tabs or guess which connections are most relevant.
2. It serves sales teams, founders seeking investors, recruiters targeting passive candidates, and professionals building partnerships—any scenario where warm intros outperform cold outreach.
3. Typical use cases include enterprise sales teams mapping paths to decision-makers at target accounts, startups identifying investor connections, and recruiters sourcing referrals for hard-to-fill roles.

Unique Advantages

1. Unlike tools requiring recipients to opt in or download software, Draftboard operates passively using publicly available data, ensuring no friction for connections. Competitors often rely on manual input or limited integrations.
2. The platform combines automation with human-driven intros, offering templated requests while allowing customization for relationship context—a hybrid approach absent in pure AI outreach tools.
3. Competitive strengths include SOC II Type 2 and ISO-27001 certifications for data security, unlimited target prospecting in paid tiers, and compensation incentives for connectors who facilitate successful meetings.
