Automated business development: AI-driven introduction services

I’m now researching automated personalized introduction services. These companies are like dating sites for businesspeople. They help identify the most relevant people whom you should meet, but haven’t yet. They ask both parties for an opt-in, and then make the intro.  

Here’s a partial list of the vendors I’ve identified:

  • Lunchclub – one of the older players I’ve found; seed round in 2017
  • Boardy.ai – Gets to know you in an AI phone call– impressive!  
  • Coffeespace.com – specializes in cofounder matching

This feels like a business Linkedin should dominate, but to my surprise they don’t appear to be playing (yet) in this space.

Who else have you found working on this problem?
