🤩 Product of the Week: Clay
In venture, a large part is about who you know. Fostering genuine human connection is a challenge of its own, but maintaining these relationships comes with its own difficulties too.
After using Clay for a month, I’m excited to share my thoughts about it with you. Clay helps you organize and deepen relationships with everyone you know – aggregating your contacts across LinkedIn, Facebook, email, calendar, and more. I’ve been exploring their features such as setting cadences to catch up, keeping informed of status updates, and reviewing past relationships I have built. and it has prompted me to reconnect with people from my past and become more intentional with my time and energy.
The way Clay puts user experience at the forefront is also incredibly thoughtful. The most subtle interactions and design give it a magical touch! Try out Clay here (not sponsored)!
