Lifograph

A few years ago, Déa Wilson — the founder of Lifograph — was pitching her previous startup in front of a panel of investors. Before pitching, she wanted to know who in her network might be able to make warm introductions. She started to click from website to website in order to find out potential connections with these investors. It took her a long time to do the manual research and trace the dots between her and the investors. 

Dea wanted to share her research with other people who might need it, but she could not find the right tool for the job, so she decided to build it. 

And this is how Lifograph was born.

In the last few years we have developed a fully operational networking platform and people search engine that was launched in public beta in 2018. 

Just in 12 months we we went from 500,000 profiles to 7,200,000 profiles and from 1,200,000 million connections to 4,700,000 connections.

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE PEOPLE

We are all connected. We just don’t know how.

Lifograph is drawing a massive digital map of real life connections between people and companies. 

People are always looking for other people, whether it be for a job, funding, customers, employees, service providers, etc.

We are building a GPS for relationships that will help you find the shortest path to people and companies around the world. 

We want to help you find the right individual or organization in just a click of a button.

We want to eliminate the tedious and time-consuming manual search from finding the right people at the right time.

Lifograph is becoming the go-to source for companies and professionals looking to easily connect with relevant people based on their needs, skills, and real-life relationships.

BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN PEOPLE AND COMPANIES

We are building a proprietary data factory that allows us to quickly process information and automatically connect the dots between people and companies.

Our curators scour the internet for news and public data about people and companies, then they aggregate the most important information into searchable profiles, filtered by relationship type.

By aggregating information from a variety of public sources in one single place, we want to help you discover with whom you should connect and do business with. 

Imagine networking at a conference and being able to identify the top 10 best people to connect with, out of thousands of attendees. 

We are building relationship maps called "lifonets," in which we map out real-life connections so you can discover the people and companies that are the best match for your needs, as well as the fastest way to reach them. We want to make sure that a “warm intro” is indeed “warm.” 

Over the last few years we have built proprietary technology that allows us to do deep data analysis and extract many useful insights.

To make it easy to navigate and search for the information you need, we have built filters and search categories that give you quick access to the data you need, including information about how people are connected. 

We've built a solid foundation

It was a long road bootstrapping our way through building a full-blown online networking platform, but we are now at the point where we are ready to scale.

How do we make money?

Lifograph has generated more than $300,000 in revenue since being operational, most of it coming from events, advertising and data services.

Our next revenue model includes a subscription model for advanced data services and business intelligence.

The Business Intelligence and Analytics market is massive, with almost $23B in market size by 2020.

It's only up from here
