“AutoPilot has surfaced people I probably wouldn’t have found myself. A few of the recommendations have been genuinely useful.”
“I joined mainly for partnerships and distribution. I’ve already had one conversation that could turn into a real opportunity.”
“I found a founder group that does coffee walks on Sundays, a coworking buddy, and a mentor who I’m now working through ideas with.”
“It saves me digging through LinkedIn trying to work out who’s relevant. The recommendations have been surprisingly good.”
“I run a fairly established business, so I’m selective with networking. The calibre here has been better than I expected.”
