The Swarm integration

How it works

The Swarm maps relationships across three key dimensions:

• Professional Networks: Identifies connections through past work experience and former colleagues
• Academic Connections: Discovers alumni relationships from the same schools and graduating classes
• Investment Networks: Analyzes connections through shared investors and portfolio companies

To access these powerful networking capabilities through LinkedIn, you'll need:

• An active company Swarm account membership.
• The Swarm Chrome extension installed on your browser.

The platform automatically updates LinkedIn connections every week, ensuring your network data stays current. Even without the Chrome extension, The Swarm continues to surface valuable connections through employment history, educational background, and investment relationships.
