Top Software Startups in 2026

Behind every opportunity is someone who introduced you. The investor who funded your company. The customer who changed its trajectory. The person who introduced you to your co-founder, next hire, mentor, or partner. Yet our professional networks have never been larger, and we still struggle to answer a simple question: Who should I know? Introd helps you discover the people you should know, understand how you're connected, and find the right path to an introduction. We’re building the relationship layer for opportunity: intelligence that turns fragmented professional networks into an understanding of who knows whom, which relationships actually matter, and where the strongest opportunities exist. Underneath Introd is a relationship graph that brings together signals across the places professional relationships already live. AI and graph intelligence help identify relevant people, understand relationship strength, rank connection paths, and surface opportunities that would otherwise remain hidden. For a founder, that might mean discovering the right investor or customer. For an investor, the right founder. For an executive, a strategic partner or key hire. For a community, it means turning hundreds or thousands of members into relationships that actually create value. We don't believe the future of professional networking is another feed, another directory, or collecting more connections. It's knowing the right people at the right moment. That’s what we’re building. The right people. Stronger relationships. Real opportunities. You’re one introduction away.

Founded in 2014 by Patrick Quinn, PRQ Exteriors was built on a singular mission: to modernize the roofing and restoration industry and rebuild consumer trust through data, precision, and disciplined execution. Headquartered in Golden, Colorado, and expanding aggressively into new markets like Illinois, we are far more than a standard contractor. We are a rapidly scaling, Inc. 500-recognized powerhouse that has grown to generate an estimated $25M–$50M in revenue by refusing to settle for the industry status quo. How We Innovate: We treat exterior restoration as a tech-forward science rather than just a construction job. By leveraging advanced analytics, a modern tech stack, and a highly structured, data-driven sales methodology, we completely streamline the often-complicated insurance claim and restoration process for our clients. From mitigating severe hail damage to installing advanced, energy-saving FORTIFIED™ solar roof systems, we remove the friction and deliver a stress-free, top-tier customer experience every single time. Our Culture & Impact: Our team is undeniably our greatest asset. We have built the strongest sales organization in the region by operating on a foundation of relentless grit, continuous improvement, and open communication. We provide the ultimate vehicle for driven professionals to build highly lucrative, long-term careers by offering the exact roadmaps and robust training systems needed to win. But our impact goes beyond our team and our clients. We believe deeply in giving back to the communities that support us, actively partnering with organizations like Habitat for Humanity to provide free roofs and essential resources to those in need. From our Golden headquarters to our newest branches nationwide, PRQ Exteriors is setting an entirely new standard for what a roofing company can achieve.
