Three weeks ago I posted a list of things I learned on launch day. I left one off, because I only noticed it after the dust settled.

Almost every good thing that happened to Construct came through someone we already knew.

Not cold DMs. Those mostly went nowhere. It was a friend of a friend of a friend, and the ask worked because the person in the middle could say "yeah, I know them, they're legit."

We launch NepoNet today, but I don't want to post another pitch.

Instead, give me one person you've been trying to reach on X, it could be an investor, a founder you admire, a hiring manager, a creator you want to collab with. Just your and the persons X handle.

Short version: NepoNet finds the warmest chain of intros from you to anyone on X, you need to know a guy who knows a guy to achieve great things.

Type any handle. NepoNet maps who they follow, who follows you, and the people in between, then ranks the routes most likely to get you a real introduction to them. Every step is explained, the first ask is drafted for you to send.

We launch on Product Hunt on tomorrow during the OpenIAI Astra challenge and this thread explains why we built it, how it works, and who it's actually for.
