Calling all students / early career professionals

[Also posted in IB forum - forgive me the double post!]

I've been a long-time user/peruser of this forum (burner account for this post) and have learned a lot about careers, networking, etc., so now trying I'm turning to my WSO community for help one more time!

Background: I come from a non-target school and am in the 2nd year of my career and very happy with where I've ended up. Coming from a non-target, I had to hustle for referrals for all my internships / full-time job, so I'm very familiar with the struggles associated with networking.

Current: I'm building a product that will greatly simplify the networking process and give an edge to those that don't have strong pipelines (and even those that do!) to their dream companies. I'm in idea-validation mode, and want to understand the demand for this product.

At a high-level, this product will offer:

  • verified emails of individuals working at any org

  • auto-track all your interactions in a CRM-style format (get rid of that manual excel sheet)

  • help you identify the best person to contact for that ever-elusive referral

Please check out this link here for more info / to get on the contact list when available! Also feel free to PM me if you have any questions / comments.
