Member playbook · New members start here

Get more from every introduction.

The members who see real results do a few simple things consistently. Here's the playbook — plus copy-and-paste templates for the moments that matter.

01

Lead with what you can give

The fastest way to a strong connection is to be one. Before you ask for anything, ask what the other person is working on and look for a way to help — an introduction, a resource, or a customer.

02

Be specific about who you need to meet

"Anyone in marketing" gets you nowhere. "B2B marketers at 20-200 person SaaS companies in Chicago" gets you introductions. Specific asks are easy to act on — use them in your profile and your requests.

03

Follow up within 24 hours

Momentum fades fast. Send a short follow-up the same day or next morning while the conversation is still fresh in both of your minds. Use the templates below.

04

Make the ask easy to say yes to

When requesting an introduction, write a forwardable note: who you are, why the fit makes sense, and one clear next step. The easier you make it, the more often it happens.

05

Show up on time and check in

Arrive on time and check in with the app when you get to the venue. Checking in tells us you're there and unlocks introductions to the most relevant people in the room.

06

Keep momentum between meetups

One meetup a month won't build a network. Act on your weekly recommended connections between events — a single coffee chat often outperforms a room full of small talk.

Copy-and-paste email templates

Steal these, personalize the brackets, and send. Each one is short on purpose — short emails get replies.
