Village vs Connect the Dots
Comparison · Updated June 2026
The short version
Connect the Dots pools your team's email and LinkedIn into one interaction-scored graph, and its signature move is the ghost email: the intro goes out under a heavy-hitter colleague's name, with their approval. What it can see is what your team has already emailed or connected with on LinkedIn. Village searches a pre-built global graph on top of that, publishes a public API, and automates more of the follow-through.

Why teams pick Village over Connect the Dots
