Drew Sechrist Bet His Career on One Cold Email - Then Built a Company to Make Sales Warmer
A cold email put him inside Salesforce before it had paying customers. Twenty-seven years later, Drew Sechrist is still proving that the shortest route through business is usually a trusted human being.
Connect The Dots
Connect The Dots (CTD.ai) is a San Francisco relationship-intelligence company that turns the email and LinkedIn history sitting inside a company into a searchable graph of who actually knows whom - and how well. Founded in 2019 by ex-Salesforce sellers and designers, it scores relationships from two-way email activity, surfaces the shortest warm path to any buyer, candidate or investor, and lets go-to-market teams request introductions at scale instead of sending cold outreach. The individual product is free; teams and enterprises pay to pool their collective network.
