The NetworkOS founder story.
After YPO Forum and Chapter meetings, our founder often left knowing exactly who should meet. But the introductions stayed in his head, his notes, or his drafts. The double opt-in process took enough work that many introductions never happened.
So he built NetworkOS for himself: connect Gmail, Calendar, LinkedIn, and meeting notes; let the product surface who should meet; review the draft; and send it from his own inbox. The introductions that used to sit in his notes started going out, including ones that led to jobs, customers, and new working relationships.
