The Problem

Why Networking Feels Hard

Your messages sound generic

"I'd love to pick your brain" — they've heard it a thousand times.

You don't know what to say

Staring at someone's LinkedIn profile, trying to find a reason to reach out.

You get ignored or ghosted

You send messages into the void and hear nothing back.

It feels transactional

You hate feeling like you're using people to get ahead.

Connections That Converted

2 hours to response
"I've always hated networking. Cruit found that the VP I wanted to reach had gone to the same small college as me, 10 years apart. Led with that, got a response in 2 hours."
