Contacts Tab

The contact tab surfaces contacts partners are sharing that you might not have on your end. This list of contacts provides additional context based on the shared number of partners and partner activity to make them more appealing for you to reach out to.

Contacts from your partner ecosystem, marked with filled-in signals, appear first, as they better align with your ICP. Outlined signals represent Ecosystem Intelligence from the wider Crossbeam Network.
