Blade

Hey Product Hunt — I’m Paul, cofounder of KAYAK and now Blade, which I built with Yasser Bashir, CEO of Arbisoft. The idea started with my first book, The Meeting Book. I wanted to tell people about it and realized the people most likely to care were probably already in my inbox. I just needed a way to find them. So we built Blade. I used it to find everyone I’d exchanged at least five emails with over the previous year. That surfaced about 400 people. I reviewed the list, trimmed it to 209, and sent each person an individual email through my Gmail via one screen in Blade. 45 wrote back asking for more information, and I also got 21 amazon reviews written! That surprised me! That’s the idea behind Blade: help you rediscover people you already know, choose who you want to reach, and send them a normal email from your own account. I’ve since used it for investor updates, event invitations, and product feedback. We’re making Blade free for the next 30 days. Give it a try at blade.net—I’d love to hear who you reconnect with.
