Double Blind Intro

- A confidential introduction where neither party knows the other's identity until both agree to proceed, often used to protect sensitive investment relationships.

Scenario:

A VC syndicate wants to introduce a portfolio company to a strategic acquirer without revealing identities until mutual interest is confirmed.

Why This Matters:

Protects confidentiality, reduces reputational risk, facilitates open discussions, preserves competitive intelligence.

The Process:

An intermediary facilitates the introduction, sharing anonymized profiles until both parties agree to proceed.
