Hello Product Hunt! HyperConnector is about developing relationships, so connect with me and let's see how we can help each other out! Key features that you should know: (if you can't do any of these things - connect with me and let's walk through it!) 1. After a meeting - use HyperConnector's forms as a way to keep up with your conversations. Ratings are not public, they are only for you to see! 2. Crowdsourced Feedback - those forms you just submitted (First Meeting and Follow Up meeting) the context is shared across the community - this gives others an idea of what to chat with someone about for the first time! 3. Private Information - need to have something tagged to a person's profile - like an email conversation you need to remember? Just use the contact form instead of the more public options - the contact form is completely private. HyperConnector is for the doer, the superconnector, the opportunity gifter for friends because it 'came up in conversation' with someone else. Founders can rejoice because now they have a better understanding of the investors they chat with beforehand, and if you are wondering if that connection ghosted you? Well, turns out they ghosted three others as well! The HyperConnector story starts with my hardware venture (Wright One) - a really niche set of skills and expertise, but also incredibly capital intensive to get up and going (so to venture capital I go!). After meeting with over 1,000 investors (over 2,500) conversations I learned something from the Hardware Community I was running at Startups.com - we as a group could give an idea of if an investor was good to chat with or not (value-add?) just by putting it into a single excel document. Nothing sinister, just something to note before booking a meeting (don't waste your time here, go to a different investor). This was the pre-cursor to HyperConnector - now we are seeing the application used in communities (to track interactions and community health) as well as recruitment for companies like GM to be able to know how first conversations are going to go before they happen. I NEED more feedback - as stable as the application is today, it still has a lot of work to do before I see this being a perfect solution. A lot of people are concerned about feedback devolving over time, and my intuition is that if I ask you for help establishing the culture of feedback with HyperConnector (where you feel you are in a safe-space to provide feedback AND get feedback, then I'm winning!) AGAIN, please connect with me! I want to hear how you are using HyperConnector and about your feedback on the application! We want to provide you value with your conversations - don't start with introductions and fumbling on the ask - KNOW what you need to ask because others are asking it to!

Building long lasting relationships is the name of the game. I'm curious to see how I can use this in my day to day.
Justin McAfee
@jaketital - Please let me know if the system is helping to educate you on networking more effectively! I want your feedback!

@jaketital Couldn't agree more, dude. You know for sure that this is my game too. 😎

Landing page is visually nice. Could be clearer what the platform is and does. Is it a Personal CRM? What does that mean? Does it integrate with existing tools?
Justin McAfee
@thomasjamesio This has been a real struggle for me to convey - maybe you can help. The value loop for users starts as a Personal CRM and then moves into getting public information about others to see what they are chatting about. If you downloaded the application - try to find my public profile. You can do this by going to the side bar and then "search" from there look up "Justin McAfee" to see the public information about me.
@thomasjamesio
@jusmcafee I downloaded the app. I’m just not sure how to use it. Some onboarding would be good. Also the emails of all the users seem to be public ?
Justin McAfee
@thomasjamesio yah - we needed a way to verify which person you were choosing. As additional users add their photos from LinkedIn we can use the photos as the verification method. But whenever you put in a review we wanted to make sure that you could find your "John Doe" from all the others.... emails seemed to be the easiest method. Do you have another way we can do this?
Justin McAfee
@thomasjamesio Can we get on a call and I'll record our conversation for others. I have a small video which details the three features above and how I do it but no explanation to go with it. This is something I really need help working on (is the onboarding process).

Hey Justin, love HyperConnector, I think you're still developing it, right ? Love to share feedback with you !
Justin McAfee
@lucas_giraud hey! Yes - did you want to schedule a meeting? Would love to hear your feedback! calendly.com/hyperconnectmeplease

This looks promising. Would love to chat with someone on the team about it some time maybe via a meeting to learn way more about it. As a community-led growth expert and manager, I'm absolutely into these kinds of products and could potentially become a brand advocate for you if I love the product! 🥰
