Abstract: A digital community platform that enables a first user to connect to a second user. More specifically, a system that helps a first user expand the first user's professional network by using proprietary algorithms and data archetypes to find and recommend new connections from the user's professional network community. Further, the system coaches the user, step-by-step, through networking experiences and includes message builders that are designed to help the user write common networking communications. The system also enables the user to manage follow-up tasks in a professional and timely manner. The system provides analytics and insights that allow a community manager to understand their network community, its user demographics, engagement activities, and user outcomes.
