In plain words
Discovery Assist by First Round helps early-stage founders obtain customer introductions more efficiently than traditional cold outreach. Rather than spending time cold-emailing hundreds of prospects to secure a handful of calls, the tool streamlines the process of connecting with potential customers. It is designed for founders in the early stages who want to focus their energy on gathering customer insights while reducing the friction typically involved in setting up initial conversations.

- IBI built a tool to expand your network (that introverts will love)2024 · moreoverlap.com · ▲229
As someone who struggles with social anxiety, expanding my network through traditional means has always been challenging. I found existing networking apps either too spammy (LinkedIn) or too much like professional dating (Bumble Bizz), and they just didn’t work for me. About a year ago, I developed a matching system for a local startup accelerator. This system connected founders, mentors, and investors based on industries, skills, and job functions, facilitating over 5,000 meetings that led to some amazing outcomes. Inspired by this success, I enhanced the system to focus on email…

Almost eight years ago I launched an online “Linux sysadmin course for newbies” here at HN. It was a side-project that went well, but never generated enough money to allow me to fully commit to leaving the Day Job. After surviving the Big C, and getting made redundant I thought I might improve and relaunch it commercially – but my doctors are a pessimistic bunch, so it looked like I didn’t have the time.
