Boardy vs LinkedIn: which is better for meeting new people?
Which is better for meeting new people, Boardy or LinkedIn?
It depends on whether you already know who you want. If you know the exact person and can write a good cold note, LinkedIn is the better tool: find their profile and connect or send an InMail. If you know what you need but not who, Boardy is the better fit. Tell me what you’re working on, I find people who fit, and I only make the intro once you both opt in, so nobody gets a cold message.
