Connect The Dots

Connect The Dots (CTD) is a relationship intelligence platform that scores every relationship across a team's network — from real two-way email and LinkedIn activity — to surface the warmest introduction path to any person or company. It merges everyone's contacts into one deduplicated "Supergraph," routes intros through the best-connected colleague (including "ghost emails" sent on their behalf), tracks job changes, and activates the network for sales, recruiting, and VC/PE deal sourcing. Everything in the app is exposed through a simple two-header REST API and a hosted MCP server for AI clients like Claude and Cursor. Backed by Norwest Venture Partners.

Connect The Dots is listed with 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Relationship Intelligence, Sales, Warm Introductions, and Network Graph.

Connect The Dots’ developer surface includes authentication, API reference, documentation, pricing, engineering blog, support, signup flow, and 23 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
