# Network-Leveraging Apps This App Helps Users Meet Anyone They are Looking to Connect With By Charlotte Joyce Kidd | Published 2015-09-01 | Business Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/network-leveraging References: [businessinsider](http://www.businessinsider.com/hottest-tech-startups-in-america-2015-8?utm_source=feedly&utm_medium=webfeeds) & [conspire](http://conspire.com) Conspire is an app that uses network leveraging to help users meet anyone they want to meet. Sign into the app, input a specific person you want to meet or a company you're interested in, and Conspire will use network leveraging to tell you exactly how to get in touch. The concept of network leveraging is a bit like the game six degrees of separation. The theory is that -- especially with the web-like interconnections of social media -- everyone knows someone who knows everyone else. Conspire takes users' [Google](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digibusinesscard) account contact list and then scours through social media networks to find the trail of people that leads to the person they want to find. Then it's as simple as contacting the person the user knows and asking them to set up a meeting with the person they want to meet. Going beyond [LinkedIn](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boardy) and [Facebook](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yuppie), this network leveraging app utilizes social media to its fullest potential to allow users to set up actual meetings with people who could benefit their businesses. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 9% | Activity: 24% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/business) > [New Ventures](https://www.trendhunter.com/newventures) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Network Leveraging:** Conspire app leverages users' networks to help them meet new people. - **Six Degrees of Separation:** The app operates based on the theory that everyone is connected through six degrees of separation. - **Social Media Integration:** Conspire uses social media networks to find connections and facilitate meetings between users. ### Where This Applies - **Networking Apps:** The app falls into the industry of networking apps that assist users in expanding their professional connections. - **CRM Software:** CRM software could benefit from incorporating network leveraging features to assist businesses in building relationships with potential clients. - **Event Networking:** The event networking industry could leverage network leveraging concepts to enhance attendee networking experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Localized Networking Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/presence.md) - [Simplified Connection Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/connection-apps.md) - [Professional Networking Matches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/osmos.md) - [Social Professional Productivity Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/likemind-app.md) - [Smart Networking Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-networking.md) - [Film Industry Networking Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bescene-app.md) - [Professional Network Visualizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/graphone.md) - [Professional Networking Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boardy.md) - [Professional Networking Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/justnetwork.md)
