Invited to connect on Distill?
Help out by sharing who you know.
Someone has invited you to their company’s Distill organization to share your list of LinkedIn connections. They can then ask for introductions to prospects or candidates, or your input on people and companies you know.
Your invitation also gives you free tools to search your own connections and find introduction paths to people and companies.
The invitation might come from your employer, a portfolio company, or a friend. Sharing your connection list lets them bring you specific questions:
- “Would you be willing to introduce us to this person?”
- “What do you know about this person or company?”
You choose whether to make an introduction or give input.
What you are sharing
A list of the people you’re connected to on LinkedIn, like sharing a CSV without having to export or send a file. Distill automatically updates your shared connections over time, so you don’t need to send a new list.
Detailed search and connection estimates.
Distill adds publicly available information about people’s roles, work history, education, and companies so you can search your connections in detail.
Public LinkedIn profiles and Google search results reveal overlaps in work and education history. Distill uses these to estimate connection strength and suggest promising introduction paths. You can always give your own perspective on whether you know someone and how well.
