Introduction.com,
reintroduced.
Welcome to the new Introduction.com.
This is The Brief. Our newsletter for founders, investors and executives. Today, we're unveiling a new brand and a new member platform.
Our founder, Mickey Hardy, has recorded a personal welcome for you.
Why you're receiving this.
You've been in one of our rooms, joined our network or subscribed along the way. To everyone who got us here, thank you.
What we do. Introduction.com is a private network of founders, investors and executives. We host curated rooms around the world, then make the introductions that lead to deals.
How it works. The Brief lands every Monday, Wednesday and Friday with who's raising, who's building, and where to find us next.
Members get more: a private directory, warm introductions and invitations to our rooms.
The world runs on introductions.
We turn connections into opportunity.
Here's how we got here. Five years ago, I started Arcadia, a go-to-market firm, in my college dorm room. Today Arcadia helps companies like Polymarket, OKX and JP Morgan explain complex tech to the world.
Working with founders, investors and executives across the globe, we kept seeing the same thing: the best people had no easy way to find each other. So we built Introduction.com.
Today that's 440+ core members, a 5M+ person ecosystem, and 50K+ subscribers to this newsletter.
Why now? AI can write your emails. It can't shake your hand. The more the world runs on software, the more a trusted introduction is worth.
The best business partnerships start as real friendships. That's what we're here to build.
~ Mickey
More than a network.
What membership gets you. Three things, one login.
Find who's where in the member directory and map, then meet them at our private dinners in New York, Miami, Dubai and beyond.
Where to meet us next.
There are three ways into the room.
~ Private Evenings. Curated, invite-only evenings we host with select partners. Small rooms, chosen guests.
~ Community Partnerships. We bring our network to the industry's defining gatherings. And yes, we're hosting the after party.
~ Assets & Access. Our monthly networking night, in cities across the U.S. Open by RSVP, it's the easiest way to meet the network in person.

Different paths.
Shared ambition.
Unexpected connections.
San Francisco was a banger.
Time to show New York some love.
Privy, a Stripe company, powers wallets for 140M+ accounts at companies like Ramp, Deel and Hyperliquid.
An evening for the executives, founders and investors building the future of payments. San Francisco included executives from HSBC, Apple, Shopify and Mastercard. Now we’re bringing that same energy to New York.
Access is earned.
