When Networks Work

Announcing Cohort for Organizations, making it easy to pool your team’s network capital to solve the kind of problems that come with starting up, growth, and scale.

A core belief of mine is that human networks are not optimised for solving problems at any scale. Relationships are probably the most under-utilised human resource there is.

Social capital, relationship strength, interests and skills are hard to identify and quantify across one person’s network, or cohort of relationships. And it’s even more difficult to do that with a group of people who are bound by shared goals or mission — such as a company.

It’s difficult, but not impossible…

We launched Cohort for individual users earlier this year, with the understanding that everyone is part of a team, and if we could make Cohort useful to one person on the team, then maybe we could make it useful the whole team.

Cohort has been used by thousands of individuals from hundreds of startups, growth stage, later stage and enterprise organisations. It has been used by people who are part of alumni groups and professional associations.

It has been used by Founders, CEOs, CTOs, VPs of Product, Engineering, Sales and Marketing. And it has been used by people who just want to be better with their network.

Today we are announcing Cohort for Organisations, which will make it easy for organisations of all sizes to pool their network of relationships together to solve day-to-day challenges around hiring, sales, and access to advice or influence.

You can register here, and we’ll start reaching out to teams and organisations in Jan 2018 to help you get set up.

In the meantime, if you’ve yet to discover the hidden potential of your close personal-professional relationships, you can try the lightweight version of Cohort, here.
