Getting opt_in is great to save time, but the auto followup is my favorite feature. I forget about intros I make and then I get a response to the followup that it went well without having to remember.
@mrakshaypatel it's instead of adding a 'clear all' button inside. Make Entro will keep everything if you exit out. Start New goes from scratch. I think there might be a better way to do it though.
Love entro.io. It is a daily thing when I am either soliciting intros or being solicited for an intro. entro makes two sided intros a breeze. I have been fortunate to have been a beta user and have seen the product evolve, I make intros very easily with the click of a button. Being a connector gives me a lot of joy, and entro doubles the joy.
@vjayramani Hahahha might need to take that end tagline!

As someone on the job market who's constantly harassing friends for intros I can definitely see them using Entro and, in turn, hating me less. Excited to share!
@david_toper hahaha will need to add that into our pitch :)

This is AWESOME! at least from the introducers point of view.
I'm wondering if the automated nature of the intro ask email would turn some people off though? It's certainly less warm, and might make some people less inclined to help than an obviously organic email - ex: hey jeff met joe, you down? versus this obviously machine generated photo angellist link pastiche. could be cool to be able to edit the intro email to appear organic, like @ramitsethi does in his email lists
@itscoreyb@ramitsethi hey Corey, you can customize what you want to say so it's completely organic. The person receiving it just has to click 'accept' or 'decline'. Happy to send you a test Entro so you can see how it looks and feels from the receiving end. http://entro.io/how-it-works.html shows the whole flow well too!
@seth_gold I was quite literally thinking about this yesterday after a friend made an intro for a build a friend of his needs. I thought, wow, email intros are kind of cumbersome; it would be great if there was an app for that. Well, looks like there is! Great job for a seemingly trivial yet everyday stumble. One thing that would be cool for professional introductions would be to, apart from the social links, include a link to a relevant portfolio piece. For example, the person looking for a developer whom I was introduced to could easily be shown a link to a relevant portfolio piece of mine.
I wish I saw this yesterday. A friend asked me for an introduction to a former classmate, and I forgot about the power of the double-opt in. Super confused by the video tho
Congrats @Seth_gold. Used this the other day and it's pretty sweet. My only concern is that it will eventually become a bit robotic, but can tweak the UX over time to ensure it remains personal. Keep up the great work.
I get asked by clients to connect them to others clients all the time; so I see a great need for this. I'll start to use Entro - based on the video, it seems like a seamless process.
