Hi - I find this interesting as I use LinkedIn quite a bit and am frequently reaching out to people to grab coffee with them. I tried the hedge fund search as I imagine that would be a highly sought after search and while it lists the names, it doesn't tell me any information about the people. It's a tough to know how much information to share to entice me to sign up for your service. In my opinion, my curiosity wasn't enough to get my to sign up to see the people's profiles in the hedge fund search. Perhaps give me the ability to see one a day? Or perhaps let people specify that they are okay having their information shown?

As a general tip - as you are on hacker news, I would imagine that most people who would be interested in this are startup folks or people related to startup folks. So for this to be more interesting to them, it would make sense to start with the programmers at startups or growth hackers at startups or [fill in the blank] at startups. Then you'll be reaching the right people with the right message.

Good luck!
