Our Startup

Problem: Cold outreach is ineffective, particularly for high-ticket consultative sales. Everyone hates rejections, and nobody likes to waste time. On LinkedIn, only 1 out of 20 mutual connections is genuine, making it difficult to identify relevant matchmakers.
Solution: Inguro is a sales intelligence platform for social selling and nearbound strategies. We allow users to find warm prospects and relevant matchmakers—those with extensive connections to the prospects. We make it easy to engage matchmakers and secure warm introductions. Sales conversion rates are much with warm intros than with cold outreach.
Mission: Our mission is to increase trust and decrease the risk of losing in prisoner's dilemma and tragedy of commons.
