About

Happenstance is people search powered by AI. For example, you ask Happenstance "find people who work on notification systems at big companies", and it comes back with two who follow you on Twitter and five who are connected to your partners. That kind of thing you just can't do on LinkedIn.

Happenstance provides an AI-powered search tool to explore your network across multiple platforms for sales, recruiting, fundraising, and more. It surfaces warm introductions and mutual connections by indexing connections from networks like LinkedIn, Gmail, Twitter, and more. The product emphasizes collaborative team use and an API to programmatically search and research people.

Users connect their accounts across networks (Gmail, LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, Calendar, Contacts, etc.). An AI agent searches these connected networks to return relevant people, mutuals, and potential introductions. Teams can pool connections into groups, share API credits and Pro seats, and search across all members’ networks. The product also offers an API and CLI for programmatic search, plus Slack integration and exportable search results. Pricing tiers provide a Free baseline and paid Pro/Team options with upgraded search limits and API credits.

Who it’s for: Sales teams, recruiters, fundraising professionals, founders, and investors who need to discover warm introductions and research people across multiple networks.
