Signal: the free network map that reveals your intro paths to specific VCs

NFX Free Beginner

You connect your Gmail and Signal maps your invisible network against 3M+ founder to VC connections, so you can see which of your contacts can actually reach a target investor instead of guessing. It is genuinely free (NFX commits to never charging) and lets you find the specific partner, not just the firm, then track who owes you which intro.

  • Connect your email accounts and it surfaces the real intro paths hiding in contacts you already have.
  • Filter to the exact VC by stage, sector, and geography rather than pitching a whole firm blindly.
  • Use it to confirm a warm path exists before you spend weeks building the relationship to unlock it.
