Boardy

Boardy is an AI-powered networking tool that makes warm introductions on your behalf. Instead of scrolling through a directory or sending cold DMs, you tell Boardy who you want to meet and why, and it finds the right person from its network of over 217,000 people it has already spoken with. Boardy handles the entire process — matching, confirming both sides are interested, coordinating calendars, and sending calendar invites. It claims to have made over 189,000 introductions to people at companies like Y Combinator, Andreessen Horowitz, Sequoia, Anthropic, OpenAI, Tesla, and Nvidia.

Boardy works across multiple channels — you can message it on LinkedIn, email, or bring it into Google Meet, Zoom, or Microsoft Teams meetings. It asks follow-up questions to understand the context of your request, then matches you against what people have actually told it (not just their public profiles). Once both parties opt in, Boardy makes a warm introduction, finds a time that works, and books the call. The Pro tier adds priority intros and deeper context by connecting your Google Calendar so Boardy can see your availability and schedule meetings without asking for times.

This tool is best for founders, investors, and business developers who need to quickly meet the right people — whether that's finding customers, raising capital, hiring talent, or connecting with collaborators. It's particularly useful for people who hate the awkward back-and-forth of scheduling and want someone (or something) to handle the logistics. If you're tired of networking platforms that just give you a list of names, Boardy actually does the connecting for you.
