Hey Product Hunters!
The main thing Entro does is help connectors remove the time suck from double opt-in introductions and help you close the loop with an automatic follow-up after an introduction is sent.
The short version is I had to do a bit of cold calling in my previous BD gig and didn't really enjoy it that much. One day I offered to make an introduction for a friend and he sent 3 back! After going in warm, I was trusted immediately, got the decision-maker right away and eventually installation. This was the complete polar opposite from my cold calling experience.
After this and a few other successful intros I sent out - I wanted something to help me track, follow-up, and proactively recommend who I should connect before I even knew. We originally started on Linkedin but they cut off their API leaving that product completely dead.
Anyways we realized email was the best place for us to ultimately exist since it's where the majority of introductions take place. After doing 100s of customer interviews, we realized that the two biggest pain points were the time suck of double opt-in introductions (coined by Fred Wilson) and the lost data/insights of what happens after you make an introduction. With that, we got back to work to focus on those issues and have Entro today! Hope you enjoy and please share your feedback/suggestions :)
Also have to give props to John Corcoran for our amazing new tagline https://twitter.com/JohnCorcoran...

If you're constantly being asked to make intros to other entrepreneurs, investors, etc., YOU NEED THIS. Entro is a clean, friendly, MODERN way to make great meaningful two sided intros, and then close the loop afterward. Highly recommended!
@cynthiaschames Cool concept for sure - but are we risking over saturation and over load leading to diminished quality as the difficulty of connecting acts as an attrition filter?
@samir_doshi@cynthiaschames I would say Entro at your own risk. Also, we have an auto follow-up so you can know if the intros you're sending are helpful or not. If you're not adding value then don't send.
@seth_gold@cynthiaschames True --- it's an empowerment tool so it's up to the user to condition the use... good point and good luck!

Great product! Use it at least 15x/day and I've received very valuable business in return for making intros to others. It's the gift that keeps on giving.
@gableroach Thanks for introducing this to me Daniel. At 15x intros a day -- you are definitely a power user. I need to try harder to use this in place of my existing email workflow.
Love the product. I'v been an early user and am extremely impressed by what Seth and his team have built in such a short period of time. I like to think of my self as a serial connector and Entro is the gravy to my roast potatoes. I'm excited to see what comes next from then Entro team.
@tribaling lots of people requesting for Mobile, Outlook, Request for Entros, etc. The goal is to help people connect online and offline so the more things we can do to help that along the better! That's why we have that video as our landing page - we want to bring people together so they can help grow each other's businesses!
I use Entro three to five times a week to make introductions with my connections who should know each other. The best part is the log that reminds me who I've already connected and the reminders to follow up. I like Entro because it fits in with my existing email workflow and eliminates the awkwardness of asking individuals who may not want to say yes, but do it at their convenience.
This is great - tracking introductions is especially relevant in the bdev space. Right now I'm connecting my interns to a number of people to help them with their projects, and it's a great way to see who's stepping up to the plate.
this looks like a great idea; but I don't like that it sends them an email for them asking to "click accept" to accept an intro. I'd prefer if the process didn't look as automated to the users
@_jacksmith What do you suggest to make the opt-in look smoother and more natural?

@seth_gold probably like just sent the opt in portion of the email as a normal email; nothing looking like it's sent from a system. then when that person replies, I can click a link or button or something to release the part-2 of the intro. so all the interacting with systems is done on my end
@seth_gold@_jacksmith this is what I was getting at too, @seth_gold. A bit cleaner UX where the first email doesn't seem so automated and botty. Sit on it. You'll get it.
