Every target scored 0–100 on genuine overlap — same school, same hometown, same path — so you spend your energy on the people most likely to reply, and skip the ones who won't.

Words built on something real

The message isn't AI generating flattery — it follows from the overlap Aditus found. When there's a genuine reason someone would reply to you, the words follow. You edit it, you send it. Always you.

DRAFT MESSAGE 87 WORDS AI RISK: LOW
Hi Priya, I'm a UMass junior from Worcester studying finance. Saw you went through the Finance Club pipeline into HL restructuring, which is the exact path I'm trying to follow. Would love to ask you one question about how you positioned the switch from campus to NY. Happy to work around your schedule...
Who it's for

For the people with the talent, but not the Rolodex.

Non-target candidates

You can out-work anyone, but you're not getting the warm intros target-school kids take for granted. Aditus manufactures the warm intro.

Career-switchers

Coming from Big Four, corp dev, or another field and trying to lateral in. Aditus finds the people who made the exact jump before you.

Recent grads

Diploma in hand, recruiting cycle moving fast, cold DMs going nowhere. Aditus turns the grind into a targeted, repeatable system.

Why this exists

I always come back to one thought: the network is the real currency. Not the GPA, not the résumé, but rather the people who know you, and would vouch for you when you're not in the room.

AI has made this undeniable. When a machine can write the cover letter, clear the screen, and draft the deck, the things that used to set you apart race toward zero. The one thing I'm certain it can't fake is someone who'll pick up the phone for you. As everything else inflates toward worthless, that kind of social capital is the only currency still appreciating.

Nowhere is this truer than finance — one of the hardest rooms there is to enter without the right last name or the right school. I learned it the hard way: the people who got in weren't always the most talented. They were the ones with access.

Aditus is the system I wish I'd had. It finds the people who actually have a reason to reply to you, and helps you say something real. You still do the work. You still hit send. It just stops being a guessing game. We're starting where I started — finance.

Questions

The honest answers.

You're trying to break into finance without looking like you used a bot to do it. Fair. Here's exactly how this works and what it won't do.

How is this different from just using ChatGPT?
ChatGPT writes words. The hard part of outreach isn't the words, it's knowing who to reach and why they'd reply to you. Aditus finds the real overlap between you and a specific person, scores how strong a connection it is, and only then drafts a message built on that overlap. The targeting is the product. The words follow from the signal, not the other way around.
Is this allowed? Will I get flagged or banned?
Aditus never sends, connects, or messages for you, and never automates activity on your accounts. You write, edit, and send every message yourself, the normal way people have always networked. What platforms ban is bots and automation acting on your behalf. A person reaching out to someone they share a real connection with is exactly the kind of activity that's encouraged. Aditus just helps you find that connection and say something worth replying to.
Do you send the messages for me?
No, and we never will. Every message is yours to review, rewrite, and send. The point of networking is building a real relationship. If a machine sends it, there's no relationship, and the person on the other end can tell. Aditus does the homework. You stay the human.
Won't the messages just sound like AI?
They won't, because they're not generic. A message reads as AI when it's vague flattery that could be sent to anyone. Aditus drafts from something specific and true about you and the person you're contacting, then hands it to you to make it sound like you. It's a sharp first draft anchored in a real reason to reach out, not a template.
What do you do with my data?
We use what you give us to find your overlap with the people you're trying to reach, and for nothing else. We don't sell your data. We don't send anything on your behalf. You can ask us to delete your information at any time. Plain and simple.
What will it cost?
Early access is free while we build with our first cohort. We're more interested in getting it right for the people using it than charging for it on day one. If and when there's a paid plan later, early users will hear it from us first.
What stage are you at?
Early, and we're not going to pretend otherwise. The core product is built and working. We're putting together a first cohort now to make it genuinely useful before opening it up. Joining the waitlist gets you in that early group and gives you a real say in how it's shaped.
