ConnectQR for Founders & business owners

You met someone who understood. Where did that conversation go?

Alex leaves a founder breakfast with an offer of help. Follow the path from that first hello to a warm introduction with a clear reason to connect.

An illustrative story with fictional people. Scroll to follow the conversation.

01 / The moment

There was one conversation you wanted to keep.

Alex talked about the payments product over breakfast. Someone understood the problem immediately and offered to introduce a design partner. At the end of the day, Alex has a handful of new names and can't place the offer.

The useful part of networking can vanish after the room empties.

02 / The missing context

The next step depends on a very specific memory.

Sending everyone the same pitch won't recover the promise. Alex needs to know who offered help, what they understood, and why the proposed introduction made sense.

A small amount of context can give a follow-up a reason.

03 / A different way

Keep the focus beside the handshake.

Next time, a scan captures the introduction in the browser. Alex adds a note about design partners and the offered connection. A Pro briefing can bring that context back before the next founder coffee.

04 / The warm introduction

Meet Sarah through Jordan.

Jordan knows Alex and Sarah, a FinTech operator. Jordan proposes a vouched introduction with context for both people. Two acceptances open the conversation. There is a human reason for Alex to be in Sarah's inbox.

Both people choose the introduction. The connector stays visible.

05 / Your next possibility

Give one good conversation somewhere to go.

Alex can take the next step with the context intact. Whether it leads to a design partnership is up to the people involved. The first win is simpler: the promise from breakfast survives the week.

Your constellation can start at your very next event.

Business cards piled up, and it was hard to remember the person or what he had promised. Now the people, context, and commitments are in one place, making it easier to continue the relationship.

A few things to know before you begin.

Can I use this as an investor or customer mailing list?

The network is built around mutual handshakes and vouched introductions. Brokered discovery does not expose hidden contact details. Use your relationships to ask for relevant introductions, with acceptance from both people.

What can I start with for free?

The Attendee plan includes 35 accessible CRM contacts, basic notes, unlimited mutual 1:1 handshakes, and receiving warm introductions. Guest captures continue beyond the CRM allowance; excess CRM records stay locked until you upgrade. Pro is $29/month and adds unlimited contacts, AI memory, the visual constellation, brokered service discovery, and reviewed AI introduction drafts.

Can guests scan without an app?

Yes. The guest introduction form opens in their browser without an app download or ConnectQR account. Joining their own network is a separate choice.
