How to Leverage Your Investors' Network for Intros
Your investors know the people you're trying to reach, and they want you to win. As long as you're connected to them on LinkedIn, Draftboard maps their network and shows you which of your targets they can introduce you to.
What a warm path looks like in Draftboard: the connector, a 0-100 relationship score, why it's strong, and a one-click intro request.
Step by step
- 1
Add your target accounts or people
Paste LinkedIn URLs or upload a CSV of the accounts and people you want to reach.
- 2
Make sure you're connected to your investors
You just need to be a 1st-degree LinkedIn connection. Your investors don't have to sign up, install anything, or upload anything.

Let Draftboard map their network
Draftboard maps your investors' connections and finds the ones who can reach each of your targets.
- 4
Review the ranked paths
Each path is scored 0-100 on shared history, mutual connections, seniority, and recency, so you know which asks are worth it.
- 5
Hand your investor a ready-to-send ask
Give them a pre-drafted, forwardable intro request for the few that matter, so it takes them 30 seconds.

Going further: unlock their 2nd-degree network
Want even more reach? Invite an investor as a team member so Draftboard maps their full network, then you can find and request intros through the people their connections know, too.
What you'll have at the end
A prioritized list of intros your investors can actually make, without you both digging through LinkedIn.
