Raising a $3M seed for a battery recycling company. Looking for climate investors who lead rounds.
Got it. I know 14 climate investors who led a hardware seed this year. I will check who fits and who wants to talk, then introduce you.
Two do. Maya leads seed rounds in climate hardware and asked to meet. I have introduced you both by email.

We find the people who fit
Your shortlist draws on everyone Union knows and what they have told her they want. We look for people whose needs line up with yours.
Someone in the network is raising a $3M seed for a battery recycling company in the US. They want a lead who has done hardware before. Do you want to meet them?
We ask both sides first
Nobody is introduced without saying yes first. Until both sides say yes, each sees the shape of the other and not the name.
Maya, meet Dan. Dan is raising a $3M seed for Loop Materials, which recovers lithium from spent EV batteries. You said you want to see hardware at seed, so here he is.
Dan, Maya leads seed rounds in climate hardware at Northwind and has led three this year. She asked to meet you.
I will leave you both to it.
We write the introduction
One email with both of you on it and the context each side needs. From there the conversation is yours. We check in later.
How it works
We find a match. You both decide.
Say what you need
One text, in your own words. Raising money, hiring, selling, buying, or finding a partner.
We find the match
We search everyone we know, check the fit, and ask the other side if they want to meet.
We introduce you
When both sides say yes, you get the introduction. From there, the conversation is yours.

Am I talking to a person or to software?
A person runs your search. Our matchmakers decide who fits, who gets asked, and which introductions are made. AI does the legwork for them: it searches the whole network in seconds, drafts messages, and keeps every thread on time. A person checks every introduction before it is made.
What kinds of asks work?
Anything where the right person makes the difference: investors, hires, buyers, sellers, partners, customers, advisors, and experts in a narrow field. If we do not think we can help, we say so early.
How long does it take?
We reply within minutes. A good introduction usually takes hours to a few days, because we wait for a real yes from the other side. Rare asks take longer, and we keep you posted.
What does it cost?
When an introduction becomes a transaction, we propose a fee and you agree to it before anything is owed. Nothing is charged for an ask, a search, or an introduction that leads nowhere.
Can I say no to a match?
Yes, and so can they. We bring you the person and the reason they fit. You decide whether to be introduced. A no is fine and costs nothing.
