In simple English
This tool helps you find out who in your network knows your target clients or investors. You upload a CSV file of your contact's LinkedIn connections. You upload a list of the people you want to reach. The program matches them and shows who can make an introduction. It runs on your computer and keeps your data in a private file.
What it is
Lean Intros is a self-hosted (run on your own computer) Python (a programming language) application that matches contact lists against target prospect lists. It scores the likelihood of a real relationship based on shared work history and schools.
What it is good for
Founders and salespeople who want to find warm paths to target prospects using connection lists exported from their network's LinkedIn accounts, without paying for expensive enterprise introduction platforms.
- Includes a demo mode with sample data so you can test it immediately.
- Runs locally on your laptop, keeping your contact lists private in a SQLite (a lightweight database stored in a single file) file.
- Provides a clean web interface with status tracking and tags.
- Requires your contacts to manually export and send their LinkedIn connection files.
- Needs an external API (Application Programming Interface, a way for programs to talk to each other) key from Apollo or People Data Labs to calculate match scores.
- Has no built-in team collaboration or real-time synchronization.
