In their own words
Draftboard
Draftboard maps a user’s first-degree network to identify people who may be able to introduce them to prospects, investors, founders, or candidates. It builds paths without asking contacts to export or upload their networks, then scores each path and explains it using relationship signals such as shared work or school history. Users can tailor intro requests and send them by email or direct message. Copilot emails top introduction opportunities 30 minutes before a meeting. Adding teammates pools their networks to reveal third-degree paths and identify the teammate with the strongest connection. The Integration API supports listing and importing targets, retrieving connections and strongest open paths, and managing tags. Draftboard is available on the web, through an extension, and via API. Its free plan includes network mapping and 50 quality paths without a credit card. Additional quality paths cost $0.30 as a one-time purchase, with a maximum of three credits per target; non-quality paths are free. Teammates can see all paths and connections by default, though an organization admin can restrict visibility.
