Connect the Dots positions itself as the layer that turns a team's combined professional network into a searchable map of warm paths into target accounts, rather than another contact database — it exposes its API and MCP on every paid plan without usage-based limits, treating direct agent access as a baseline feature. Its own public record centers on customer workflows in venture and BD teams sourcing specific introductions, with product changes described as following directly from what those users ask for. Independent conversation about the company is still early — a quieter footprint so far, without the comparison or workflow chatter that builds up around more established categories in this space.

Business Profile
Connect the Dots was founded in 2019 by former Salesforce leaders Drew Sechrist and Ian Swinson and has grown into a 99-person team backed by roughly $20 million in total funding to date. The company has expanded from individual relationship mapping into a platform used by enterprise sales, venture, and private equity teams, with customers spanning software companies to the investment firms that also back it, including Norwest Venture Partners. It remains an independent, venture-backed company.
Agent Readiness
Measures how easily your agents can build on it — API, MCP, CLI, SDK, docs depth. Methodology →
Connect the Dots ships both a REST API and a Model Context Protocol plugin for Claude, giving agents natural-language access to the relationship graph rather than requiring a UI. Paid plans carry unlimited API and MCP usage with no per-request pricing, a structure aimed at builders wiring the graph into broader AI-native go-to-market stacks rather than one-off lookups. The company points to early builder projects doing exactly that as a sign of where the integration path is headed.
