LinkedIn shows connections. Introd shows trust.
LinkedIn is where the profile graph lives. But a 1st-degree connection isn't a relationship. Introd layers on relationship strength, real intro orchestration, and a team-wide network you can act on — without leaving LinkedIn behind.
The trust layer for professional relationships
Introd turns connections into orchestrated warm introductions. We score relationships by real signal — meetings, threads, recency — and route asks to the colleague most likely to help.
The world's professional profile network and Sales Navigator suite
LinkedIn is the canonical professional graph. Sales Navigator adds advanced search, alerts, and InMail credits on top of that graph.
Why teams choose Introd over LinkedIn
Relationship strength, not just degree
Being '1st degree' means little. Introd scores actual closeness from email, calendar, and conversation signal.
A team graph, not a personal feed
Pool your team's LinkedIn networks into one searchable graph — with privacy controls per person.
Intros that get sent, not just suggested
Pre-drafted asks, double opt-in flows, status tracking. Not just a 'Get introduced' button.

"We used to scroll Sales Navigator hoping someone on the team was a 1st degree. Now Introd just tells us who actually has the relationship — and drafts the ask."
FAQs about Introd vs LinkedIn
Does Introd replace LinkedIn?
No. Introd sits on top of LinkedIn and unifies it with your email, calendar, and CRM to surface real relationship signal.
Is connecting LinkedIn safe?
Yes. We use official integrations, never scrape, and give every user granular control over what's shared with their team.
What about Sales Navigator?
Most customers keep Sales Navigator for search and content, and use Introd for relationship intelligence and intro orchestration.
Can I keep some contacts private?
Always. Mark any contact as personal and it never appears in your team's pooled graph.
