The People Company
People build the economy, and The People Company is building the network that powers people relationships.
AI has made intelligence and data easily accessible. But intelligence on its own doesn't build the economy. The economy is built on relationships.
The most successful nations, companies and people thrive on relationships. Nations are nothing without their allies, companies are nothing without their customers, and people are nothing without the community around them. While social media has allowed the world to become more interconnected, there has never been more noise within our social networks. Finding someone, working out who they really are and reaching them is a huge problem.
At The People Company we believe that people networks are the foundation of relationships, and when used appropriately, economic prosperity can be achieved. People are key to achieving this. That is why we are building a people network graph.
What we've built
People search. We can find and qualify almost anyone on the internet. You tell us who you're looking for, we understand your requirements, the market, and the context around the person, and we bring back people who match your criteria.
People network. We are building a social graph powered by people's personal networks: your phone, your inbox, your contacts, your social media. This lets us identify the relationships that already exist and build more. On that foundation, users boost their outreach response rate. Most cold outreach gets a reply around 30% of the time. With our tool, we are building toward a 70 to 90% response rate.
Our first product
HelpHire is the first thing we built on this foundation, and it is for founders, recruiters and staffing agencies. Find the best candidates, understand them, and reach them through the warmest path you have.
It does the monotonous work of searching and sorting so recruiters, hiring managers and founders can focus on building relationships.
Where we're going
The same foundation works for anyone whose job starts with finding a person. A salesperson looking for the accounts that are ready to buy. An investor and a founder trying to find each other. A non-profit trying to reach the people who believe in the cause. Less noise and time wasted, and more time building relationships. Like every social network, our graph gets stronger as the users within our system expand.
Over time this becomes one of the most comprehensive people datasets anywhere, providing insight on the labor market, consumer sentiment and talent density, and a voice for the augmentation of people and technology to achieve economic prosperity.
Trust
Achieving our vision comes with great responsibility, and we do not take it lightly. It is of the utmost importance that we maintain the trust of our users. The data uploaded onto our system is yours. We do not sell consumer data, and we hold ourselves to strict adherence to privacy regulation.
Our foundation is built on trust, and we have open sourced the most critical part of our technology so our users can be part of this ecosystem.
We are a small team building the technology that gives people back to people. If that is work you want to do, we'd like to meet you.
