In Connections Vieu, Vieu gives you four different ways to discover relationship paths. Each method is useful depending on what you’re trying to do.
- To a person - Use this when you are targeting a specific individual and want to understand how they are connected to your network.
- To an account - Use this when you already have a specific company in mind and want to see who in your network can introduce you.
- Within a cohort - Use this when you are working with a predefined list of companies (uploaded or created as a cohort).
- To a group - Use this when you are working with a predefined list of people and want to find connections into that group.
Why use “To a group” to find connections?
Finding connections to a group is useful when your starting point is people, not companies.
This approach works best when:
-
You are targeting a specific persona or role (for example, CISOs, Heads of Finance, or Product Leaders)
-
You already have a curated list of people you care about
-
You want to understand who in your network can introduce you to this group
Unlike cohorts, which are company-based, groups help you work at the people level.
If you haven’t created a cohort yet, here’s how you can do it: Creating Cohorts in Vieu
How to find connections to a group
Follow the steps below to explore connection paths into a predefined group of people.
Step 1: Open Connections View and select “To a group”
1. Go to Connections Vieu
2. Select To a group
This allows you to start from a predefined list of people.
Step 2: Select the group you want to explore
Choose the group you want to find connections into.
Once selected, Vieu shows all people in that group who are reachable through your network.
Step 3: Open a connection to explore relationship paths
Click on any connection in the filtered list to:
- View available connection paths
- See who can introduce you
- Understand why a connection exists
If a path looks promising, click Explore Path to review the relationship context in more detail.
Step 4: Review the relationship and track the introduction
When you find a strong path, Request the introduction with clear, relevant context.
Once requested, the introduction is automatically tracked in Introductions Vieu, so it stays visible and easy to follow up on.
The best results come from using the strongest, most relevant connection, not just the closest one.
