AI Board Connection Mapping
Your Board is Your Best Untapped Asset.The AI Board Connection Mapping agent turns your board list into a powerful networking tool. It analyzes your board members and a target funder's board to find direct overlaps and, more importantly, potential second-degree connections. It transforms the question "Does anyone know someone at...?" from a hopeful guess into a strategic query.
The Cold Introduction Barrier
Getting a foot in the door with a new foundation or corporate partner is the hardest part. Cold emails have low success rates, and manually researching potential connections across dozens of board members is a daunting, time-consuming task.
The Relationship Gap
You know a warm introduction is 10x more effective, but finding that path feels like searching for a needle in a haystack.
The AI Solution: Uncover Your Hidden Network.
Simply paste your list of board members and the target funder's board members into the tool. Our AI cross-references the lists and analyzes public data to identify potential links.
Direct Connection Highlighting
Instantly see if any individuals serve on both boards, providing an immediate path for a warm introduction.
Potential Link Identification
The AI looks for second-degree connections, such as board members who work at the same company or attended the same university.
Suggested Outreach Angle
For each potential connection, the AI suggests a specific, actionable talking point to initiate the conversation.
Key Benefits of AI Board Connection Mapping

Increase Meeting Success Rates: Secure more meetings with key decision-makers by leveraging trusted, pre-existing relationships.
Activate Your Board: Give your board members a simple, powerful way to contribute to fundraising without asking them for money directly.

The Health Clinic's Corporate Connection
A community health clinic wanted to approach a large local tech company for sponsorship. Using the Board Connection tool, they discovered that while there were no direct overlaps, one of their board members and a tech company exec had both served on the board of the local Chamber of Commerce five years prior.
The Discovery:
• AI analyzed both board member lists
• Found shared Chamber of Commerce history
• Identified 5-year connection timeline
• Suggested reconnection approach
The Results:
• Warm introduction secured
• Direct meeting with decision-maker
• Successful sponsorship proposal
• Long-term partnership established
“The AI suggested the outreach angle: ‘reconnecting based on their shared work at the Chamber.’ This warm intro led directly to a discovery meeting.”
— Maria Rodriguez, Development Director
