And they are out there, trying to connect.
Introo is a place to publish the introductions you'd be glad to make — and find the people who've been hoping to reach them.
Why this needs to exist
Networking online turned into advertising yourself. Everyone broadcasts their own highlights, ninety percent of it polished past the point of truth, and the people who'd rather just help have nowhere to do it. The tools reward the loudest, not the most useful.
Here's the part nobody fixed: the scarce thing was never access. If you've worked a few years, you can already reach people others would do a lot to meet. What's scarce is knowing who wants the door you could open. You have the introductions. You just can't see the demand.
The idea
Introo flips it around. Instead of advertising yourself, you publish the doors you're willing to open and the conditions you'd open them under — "I'll introduce you to a games-industry founder if you're building something adjacent." People who fit ask. You decide. The introduction happens because it was meant, not because someone got spammed.
No feed to perform for. No personal brand to maintain. Just useful introductions, made on purpose, by people who actually want to make them.
Think letters of introduction — the old, deliberate kind — built for how people actually reach each other now.
What's in it for you
Giving isn't charity here — it's how you build the network you'll want later. Opening doors is how you earn the right to have doors opened for you. The day you're the one who needs an introduction — a role, a co-founder, a first customer — you'll want people who remember you showed up for them.
Introo is built to keep track of that. The goodwill you build by helping is goodwill you can draw on when it's your turn — a real network you've actually earned, not a pile of contacts you've never done a thing for.
Where this is right now
We're not pretending this is finished. We're validating the one thing that matters before building the rest: whether people like you will actually offer the doors you could open.
So that's the ask today. No product yet. Just: show us the introductions you'd be willing to make. If enough real ones show up, we build it and you're the first ones in. If they don't, we've saved everyone a year of misplaced effort. Either way you'll know we shoot straight.
Offer a door
Two minutes. No names required — just roles and places. This is the whole experiment.
You've added your doors to the ones already waiting. We'll come find you when there's something real to open them with.
