- You have a large network across Gmail, LinkedIn and X worth searching.
- You want to search a group's shared network.
When is Invenitor the better choice?
- Nobody you know knows them. You need people outside your network.
- You want an email or phone returned, not only a path.
- You do not want to connect your mailbox to a search tool.
How do you move from Happenstance?
- You do not need to switch. Search your network first, then use Invenitor for the people it cannot reach.
- Ask for the intro when a mutual contact exists. It is the better opening.
- Use Invenitor's free credits for the first search outside your network.
Common questions
- Do I have to connect my email to use Invenitor?
- No. You sign in with Google and add one WhatsApp number. There is no mailbox to connect.
- Which should I try first?
- If you have a large network, try a network search first, since a warm intro beats a cold note. Use Invenitor when that comes up empty.
