Think of the last time you asked a business associate to introduce you to one of their contacts to get an edge over the competition. Information regarding who has worked with whom, or for whom, is readily available on the Internet and in private databases. Wouldn't it be nice if a search engine understood the relationships in this data well enough to find these social networks for you?
VC Link harnesses the power of the DoubleDipTM knowledge discovery engine in an application that has been tailor made to operate on Thomson's VentureXpert database.
Use VC Link to:
- Find a chain of people to connect your business to a VC.
- Find relationships between VCs and the businesses they fund.
- Determine which VCs have invested in businesses like yours.
- Get more reliable information about people you’ve just met, using your social network.
- Discover which businesses a particular individual is involved with.
- See which people are known both by you and a new business associate.
- Connect yourself to someone you want to meet through a chain of people who already know each other.
- Find stronger links to influential individuals in a particular company.
VC Link cross-references VentureXpert's data with information from other data sources.
- Using complimentary data sources expands the universe in which DoubleDipTM can find connections. In this way, DoubleDipTM can find a path from an entity in VentureXpert's data to another entity completely unknown to VentureXpert.
- Additional data sources can be added with minimal engineering efforts, including any other private database or even the Internet.
- Currently, VC Link is ready to cross-reference VentureXpert's data with ZoomInfo's profiles.
Graphic visualizations enhance the value of VentureXpert and ZoomInfo.
- VC Link Graphs your social network, and optimizes the graph layout to make understanding a complex social network intuitive.
- Visually explore your social network one branch at a time, or multiple branches together.
- Optionally "prune" your graph to find the fewest number of entities that can link two individuals / companies.
