Great things start by knowing friend of a friend of a friend
Someone you know knows someone you wish you knew. Nepo Network maps these connections between you and the people you want to reach on X, uncovering potential paths to a warm intro. Explore ranked routes, see who connects each step, draft your ask, and track your outreach. Your network has a surprisingly useful extended family.
You can do great things if you know a friend, who knows a friend who knows a friend
Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm Ankush, developer of NepoNet.
A month ago we launched @Construct Computer here and it finished #1 Product of the Day.
That wasn't luck, and it definitely wasn't cold DMs.
Before launch day we mapped who we needed: hunters, makers with big audiences, founders whose one repost moves a launch. Then we found the people we already knew who knew them.
Every intro came from a friend of a friend, every ask was specific and easy to say yes to. People who had never heard of us showed up because someone they trusted asked them to. It worked, but it took us weeks of scrolling through follower lists, spreadsheets and guessing who knows whom.
So we built the tool we wished we'd had.
Nepotism Network finds the warmest chain of intros from you to anyone on X.
Type any handle and it maps who they follow, who follows you, and the people in between, then ranks the warmest routes and explains every step.
It tells you who to befriend first and why, with hard evidence.
One click reads up on everyone on the route and writes a plan: who to message, when, why they'd help, and drafts for each message. It never sends anything for you, you have the final say on who to get in touch with.
Track who you've asked and what happened to make your lives easier.
Use it from ChatGPT, Claude, Codex or Cursor over MCP, your agent gets the same tools you do.
Feel free to try it, type your handle and run your first search.
For our PH supporters we are offering a month of free premium
ps. much love to @zaczuo for hunting us, and to the PH team again 🩵

Who hunted Nepotism Network?
Nepotism Network was hunted by Zac Zuo. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
