LinkedIn network analysis
Your next customers already know you.
You have thousands of connections you haven’t thought about in years. Upload the export, describe what you sell, and every single row gets read against it — with the reason, and a first line you could actually send.
Nothing connects to your LinkedIn login.
16 worth contacting out of 416 shown
Owns the revenue stack at a company squarely in your size band; connected twelve years ago and never followed up.
RevOps owns the vendor-onboarding process you replace, and at 200–1000 staff that process is painful enough to have a budget line. Twelve years of goodwill is worth more than a cold email to the same title elsewhere.
Wrong shape. A company this size has an internal ops team and buys software, not advisory days. Pitching the retainer here would spend a twelve-year relationship on the weaker of your two offers.
Example output. Every claim above is derived from job title, employer size and connection date — nothing else.
The problem
Most founders prospect outward while the answer sits behind them.
A network built over a decade of jobs, conferences and launches gets treated as a vanity number. Nobody reads three thousand rows, so nobody ever finds out that the person who runs exactly the process you replace has been one message away since 2015.
A verdict per idea
Describe up to three things you’re selling. Each person is judged separately against each one — a strong lead for your product can be completely wrong for your consulting, and you get told which.
Company facts, not just titles
“VP Operations” means nothing until you know whether the company has twelve staff or twelve thousand. Employers get identified first, so your size and industry filters actually apply.
Something to send
Every match comes with an opening line written from how you actually know them — including the awkward part where you haven’t spoken in nine years.
How it works
Three things happen, in this order.
The first takes five minutes of your time. The other two take none.
Ask LinkedIn for your connections file
It’s your data and LinkedIn exports it on request. Nothing is scraped and nothing touches your account.

Answer four questions about what you sell
One at a time, not a wall of form fields. What it is, who signs off on buying it, roughly what it costs, and anyone to leave out.
Watch it read your network
A minute or two, then the counts and your three strongest matches, free. Unlock the rest whenever you want — or don’t.
Boundaries
Four things this deliberately isn’t.
What a typical report finds
Most people are actively using about 4% of their network.
Not because the other 96% is worthless — because nobody has ever read it. Three thousand rows is a week of work by hand, and it never reaches the top of anyone’s list.

Questions
The ones everyone asks.
What's actually in the file I upload?
LinkedIn's connections export has six columns: First Name, Last Name, URL, Email Address, Company, Position and Connected On.
The email column is blank for most people — LinkedIn only fills it in where a connection chose to share it. We don't need it. Title, employer and the date you connected are what the analysis runs on.
Is this against LinkedIn's terms?
No. You request your own data through LinkedIn's own export tool, which exists for exactly this purpose. Nothing automates, scrapes or logs into your account at any point.
Can it see people's bios?
No, and neither can anything else that isn't breaking LinkedIn's terms. The export contains no bios, and there's no legitimate API that returns a connection's profile.
So the analysis reasons from job title, employer, company size and connection age. Where it does cite something recent, it's from a web search with the source attached — never a guess.
What if my network is small?
Under about 300 connections, the free scan will tell you quickly and you shouldn't pay. There isn't enough there to be worth $39, and we'd rather say so now than refund you later.
What happens to my file afterwards?
It's deleted once your report is delivered. The report itself keeps working — it holds its own copy of the matches — but the underlying address book is gone.
Guides
Written for the problem underneath this.
Finding people worth contacting is the actual job. These cover how to do it whether or not you ever run a scan.
Find out who you already know.
The scan is free and takes about two minutes. If it turns up nothing worth contacting, you’ve lost two minutes.
