A San Fransisco-based financial services company focusing on data transfer networks came to Zintro for help getting niche participants for a mission-critical internal project. The company creates APIs that their clients use to connect their own platforms to different financial services platforms, and they couldn’t figure out why some APIs were used heavily while others seemed to be useless to their customer base.

A Palo Alto-based VC firm was evaluating a software company that creates manufacturing automation tools, with most of the company's clients located in Germany and Western Europe.

At the outset of the project, the VC firm was using two other networks in order to find 10–15 experts (clients, exclients, evaluators that went with alternative solutions, exemployees, and a market opinion leader) to help satisfy their queries and get a 360-degree view of the industry.

A Private Equity firm came to Zintro looking to speak with information security leaders that recently evaluated and/or purchased from the company under review. Their main problem? They had already tried finding these individuals on Tegus and GLG, but neither network could find evaluators or buyers of the tool. Even though they spoke to two clients provided by the company's CEO, they wanted different viewpoints and back-channel feedback.
