Thousands of names, most of them silent. Titles from three jobs ago, no memory of how you met, no way to ask who could open a door. In ten working days, we turn your address book into a network you can use again.

What your phone knows, and what you get back: his career since, where you know him from, who can put you back in touch, and a reason to write today.
Julien Varenne
Finance Director · Groupe Aléa
Julien Varenne
Was Finance Director, Groupe Aléa, now Operating Partner, Lumen Capital
A reason to write: he joined the board of Fondation Lazare in May.
Sample record. Names and companies are fictional.
To find him, only “Julien Varenne, Groupe Aléa” left your address book. Nothing else.
13,000 cards. 3,300 were an old bought directory.
A former chief executive, three decades of contacts. We set the bought directory aside, left out the people he wanted kept out, and rebuilt and dated about 2,600 careers. Then three projects drawn from it: a charity evening, an introduction, a conference for a thousand guests.
Read the case →Your contacts still show the job people had when you saved them. Many have moved on since.
Nothing says where you know them from, how close you were, or who in your address book could put you back in touch.
Real relationships sit next to directories imported years ago, duplicates, and couples sharing one card. Your phone can’t tell them apart.
Every fact carries its source. When we are not sure it’s the same person, we say so and write nothing.
For each person we find, every step of their career, with dates and places. And their face, for the names you no longer picture.
Same company as you in the same years, same city at the same time, same school. The era of your career when you connected.
Five plain levels, from a relationship you kept alive to a name with nothing behind it. Your exchanges are counted, never read.
Pairs of contacts who worked together, and the connectors who link the most people in your address book.
Real relationships gone quiet, with people whose careers have grown since. And something to say: a new role, a board seat, a cause they champion.
A charity sale, a product to place, a conference to curate: who to invite, and why, drawn from your own network.
Delivered as a workbook you can filter, a searchable page and a clean address book to import into your iPhone or Google. If you use an AI assistant, your network is set up in it too; you don’t need one. On an old address book we usually rebuild 40 to 55% of the real relationships; the rest come as a list, with the reason for each.
Family and friends count too: their careers are looked up like anyone else’s, professional facts only. Anyone you mark stays out of every search.
Once your network is rebuilt, ask it about a project. Here is an extract of what comes back.
Ask it yourself, any time. If you use an AI assistant (Claude, ChatGPT or another), we set up your rebuilt network in it, on your own account. You ask in plain words; it answers with names and the reason for each.
Fictional people, generated portraits, invented companies. The level of detail is real.
Professional facts only, even for a guest list: nothing about wealth, health, religion or legal matters. Family ties only when they explain someone’s place in business.
You send your files, confirm a few faces and names, and get your network back. We do the rest. Fixed price, quoted after the first call: from €1,000, depending on the size of your address book. Three or four useful meetings and it has paid for itself.
Every step, in plain words →Your career, what you want from your network, your constraints. Then a fixed quote.
