I think this is a neat idea and is very useful for any type of sales planning. This isn't so much growth advice as survival advice. You should read LinkedIn's terms of service very carefully to determine if your product is compliant. LinkedIn makes it very difficult to scrape their site and their TOS states pretty clearly that combining LinkedIn data from their developer/partner API is a no-no. As far as I can tell, apps that use the LinkedIn APIs are really supposed to enhance the LinkedIn experience for users rather than enhancing the experience of other products.

I can't remember the specifics of the app I thought I wanted to build that would use LinkedIn's data, but I remember being turned off from the idea after reading their TOS.

This might not apply to your product but it's something to be aware of.
