Build Relationships That
Build Empires
Your next investor, co-founder, or enterprise customer is already in a room with you. intrstn makes sure you never lose that thread.
The Entrepreneur's Networking Problem
Entrepreneurs live in a perpetual blur of pitch events, hackathons, demo days, accelerator cohorts, and casual coffees. You meet dozens of people who could dramatically change the trajectory of your company — and then you lose them to a pile of forgotten business cards, a LinkedIn request you never followed up on, or a note buried in your phone's Notes app.
The problem isn't that you're not networking. The problem is that networking without context is just collecting contacts. A name without a story is nearly worthless. What matters is: who is this person, how did you meet, what did you talk about, and what's the next step?
Traditional CRMs are built for sales teams, not for founders. They're expensive, complex, and designed for volume — not for the nuanced, human relationships that move the needle in entrepreneurship. A $20,000 enterprise software subscription to track 40 meaningful relationships is overkill and overpriced.
intrstn was designed from the ground up for the way entrepreneurs actually operate: in real life, in real time, with context that matters.
How It Works
Four steps between a handshake and a lasting professional relationship.
Capture the Moment
Met someone at a demo day? Scan their QR code or snap a selfie together. intrstn logs the date, location, and event context automatically — no manual entry needed.
Add Context While It's Fresh
Right after the handshake, add a private note: "Early-stage angel, interested in B2B SaaS, follow up with deck." This stays private to you, encrypted on your device.
Build a Living Network Map
Over time, your connections are organised by occasion, industry, and relationship strength. You'll never stare at a business card wondering "who was this again?"
Follow Up With Purpose
Reviewed your notes before a coffee meeting and walked in knowing exactly what mattered to them. That's the difference between a warm conversation and a cold pitch.
What Entrepreneurs Use It For
From pre-seed to Series A, your network is your most valuable non-dilutive asset.
Investor Relations
Log every investor you meet with their stage focus, check size, and how the conversation went. Build your fundraising pipeline inside your network.
Co-founder Sourcing
Track potential co-founders across events. Notes on their skills, work ethic observations, and mutual connections help you make a principled decision when the time comes.
Ecosystem Navigation
Startup ecosystems are dense. Remember which accelerator mentors you clicked with, which community leaders you promised to collaborate with, and which peers to grab coffee with.
Customer Discovery
Every customer conversation is gold. Capture problems they mentioned, industries they're in, and their appetite for solutions. This is qualitative research hidden in your Rolodex.
Conference ROI
Attending a conference that costs $3,000 is only worth it if you follow through. intrstn ensures every card you collected translates into a real relationship.
Private by Design
Your network is your moat. Unlike CRMs shared with a sales team, intrstn is your private intelligence. Everything is end-to-end encrypted.
"Your network is your net worth — but only if you can remember why it matters."
The founding insight behind intrstn.
Why Context Changes Everything
Imagine you meet a venture capitalist at a YC alumni meetup. You talk for 20 minutes. She's focused on climate tech, specifically carbon capture, has written a blog post you've bookmarked, and she mentioned she's hosting a fund launch dinner next month. You get her LinkedIn, exchange QR codes, and move on to the next conversation.
Six weeks later, your product just pivoted to include a sustainability angle. You know she'd be interested. But do you remember which specific blog post she mentioned? Do you remember that she said she prefers warm introductions over cold outreach? Do you remember that she was wearing an MIT sweatshirt which means she might share that alumni network with your co-founder?
With intrstn, you do. Because you captured it privately in the first two minutes after the conversation. That warm re-engagement email you'll write becomes personal, specific, and memorable — not generic.
This is the compounding advantage. Every note you write today is equity in a relationship that might pay off in a year. Early-stage founders who treat their networks like living, breathing assets consistently outperform those who treat networking as a chore to get through.
intrstn isn't a productivity app. It's a relationship intelligence tool purpose-built for people building things that matter.
