Trusio deconstructs the warm introduction into a four-step trust loop — engineered to maximize signal, protect social capital, and reward every high-quality connection you make.
Every warm introduction involves three distinct roles. When the loop closes correctly, social capital transforms into a measurable professional asset — tracked, scored, and portable.
The key innovation: the loop is designed so that a successful introduction is faster and more socially rewarding than sending a traditional email.
Identify two individuals in your network who would benefit from a mutual introduction. Write the professional "why" — the specific reason the match has value.
The Contextual Note is the most critical element. By stating "Person B is a HealthTech CFO expert; Person C is a founder seeking one," you transform a contact swap into a high-intent, reputation-staking asset.
Both parties receive a Magic Link via email. They evaluate your contextual note and choose to Accept or Decline — without needing to create an account.
The Silent Veto: If either party declines or ignores the request, the introduction simply never happens. The other party is never notified of the rejection. The request expires quietly — no awkwardness, no trapped threads, no obligation.
When both parties click Accept, a shared communication channel opens. Contact details are exchanged in a curated, context-rich environment — warm by design.
Unlike traditional CC'd email chains, the Shared Thread preserves the warmth and context of the original introduction. Inbox integrity is maintained throughout.
The loop closes. You receive a notification of the successful match. Your Connector Score updates immediately — reputation compounding with every high-quality introduction.
Why it matters: Every successful introduction is a data point. Over time, your acceptance rate, value ratings, and consistency combine into a portable credibility signal you can carry anywhere.
The most critical safeguard in the trust economy. Communication channels only open when both parties explicitly choose to connect.
The onboarding flow is engineered to trigger the "Aha! moment" — your first successful introduction — within a single session. Every screen drives one action.
A single CTA on the landing page. No feature lists, no pricing tables — just a promise: "Make your first introduction in 5 minutes."
Name, headline, industry, and photo only. Deferring lower-value context reduces cognitive load and maintains momentum.
Add 10–20 contacts via CSV import or manual entry. For each person: "What's the best thing about knowing this person professionally?"
An immediate guided flow selects two contacts and provides a pre-populated template. One-Click Template Injection eliminates blank-page syndrome.
Automated status notifications close the feedback loop and affirm your identity as a high-value connector in your niche.
A weekly summary benchmarks your Connector Score against top nodes in your niche — "You're in the top 15% of VC connectors in Austin."
Every user state receives a specific, context-aware notification designed to re-engage, celebrate, or assist — never to spam. The system meets users exactly where they are.
