Sumazi Startup Connects You With People You Ought to Know

Social Networking startup Sumazi launched their private beta this week, and I was able to take sneak peek here at inside-Startups.

While existing social networks reinforce connections with people you already know, Sumazi connects you with new people and opportunities that may be out of sight but not out of reach. Sumazi leverages your personal and extended networks to intelligently discover, recommend and introduce you to the right people and opportunities at the right time. By building on top of the Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter ecosystems, Sumazi is able to harness the untapped reach and potential of your networks and your networks’ network.

Sumazi was one of a handful of companies selected out of more than 1,000 startups to participate at TechCrunch Disrupt Battlefield in San Francisco, where it won the Omidyar Network award for the startup “Most Likely to Change the World.” Sign up for the Private Beta.
