Superconnectors: How does it actually work?

You’ve already provided us with your data, including your critical ask and ideal connection. To access your Superconnectors profile, simply click here, and use the email address provided.

This is important, you need to use the email of the one person, who is your main contact. To help you remember, here is the list with your emails you should use. If you need to change it, let us know.

With the correct email, you’ll receive a magic link in your inbox to log in.
