Just released Season 2 Episode 15 of The Super Connectors podcast in NYC with the one and only Natalie Neptune aka “the Group Chat Queen.” 👑

This one’s for anyone who’s ever thought:

“Networking is cringe.”

Cool. Same.

That’s why this convo hit.

A few golden nuggets:

Natalie literally built 300+ group chats in college. (Casual.)

She’s obsessed with taking people from URL → IRL because online is great… but trust happens faster when you can look someone in the eye.

She makes intros across deep tech, founders, law firms, investors and also connects people to entire Gen Z communities (she has a whole doc for it… of course she does).

And then she dropped a line I can’t stop thinking about:

“Intros get lost in the sauce because you just make so many.”

YES.

That’s the problem.

We also went into the spicy bit: how do you actually make money from community + intros without turning into a walking ad?

Natalie’s answer was refreshingly real:

💎 some money is “front-stage” (sponsors, brand deals)

💰 some is “backstage” (ghostwriting, LinkedIn strategy, doing events end-to-end)

And then she basically invented a new category on the spot:

🌟 “UGC creators… but for intros. User Generated Intros. UGI.”

👀 If Gen Z can monetise content… why not monetise introductions?

If you’re Gen Z (or you just feel Gen Z), this episode is a must-listen.
