What's the IB networking process these days?

Hello - I'm building a tool that helps accelerate IB networking (not AI slop/mass email sending) and wanted to understand people's pain points. It seems networking efforts can be enormous (1,000+ contacts emailed) and very lowkey (30-40 alumni at target firms). 

Would love to chat with students at any type of institution about their recruiting / networking journey and how technology could be used to improve it.   

Currently an ASO at an MM, happy to provide some mentorship/guidance in exchange!

Looking for more opportunities to get out there in person and shake hands with real investment bankers and hiring managers. Thanks. Good luck
