Intro.community Appoints Industry Veterans to Board, Confirms Investors Before Invite-Only Launch

Intro.community Inc. has named an experienced board and confirmed its investor base in the run-up to an invite-only soft launch this autumn. David Flynn, whose industry background spans C-level positions at LCKY Group, Microgaming, NYX Gaming Group, and Solance, was appointed chairman as the company prepares to broaden access to its professional network.

David Flynn Leads Board as Chairman

The appointment of David Flynn as chairman marks a strategic leadership decision given his record in the iGaming sector. Flynn’s background includes board and executive roles at both major operators and suppliers, making him well-positioned to steer the board as the company shapes its identity. Britt Boeskov, who previously served as Chief Experience Officer at Kindred Group and now holds board seats with Better Collective, Mindway.ai, GAMING1, and MAG Interactive, has also joined the board.

Additional board members include Danny Keens, formerly Senior Vice President for Sports & Media Partnerships at Twitter and a former executive at ESPN and 60 Minutes. Erik M. Throndsen, who recently retired from his position as Regional Director at SpareBank 1 Sør-Norge, completes the initial board lineup. The composition brings together expertise from iGaming, sports media, and financial sectors.

“Intro has already proven that warm introductions work best for business and this is how we have grown our investor base at such an early stage. We anticipate that this will only continue to rapidly grow as we look to launch more extensively later in the year.” — David Flynn, Chairman, Intro.community Inc.

26 Investors Across 11 Countries

Intro.community has secured backing from 26 investors located in 11 different countries prior to this launch phase. The company considers this broad geographic support a validation of its approach, favouring personal recommendations over open enrollment. According to David Flynn, this model has already driven significant investor growth and is expected to accelerate as the company prepares for wider rollout later in the year.

Focus on Trust and Curated Access

Founder and CEO Øyvind Kvamme-Vik positioned Intro.community as a professional network determined to prioritise verified trust over automated outreach. The company operates on an invite-only basis: no member can contact others unless vouched for by an existing member. Kvamme-Vik explained the approach in the context of artificial intelligence proliferation:

“As AI floods the digital world with automated spam, real human trust becomes the ultimate premium. You cannot reach anyone here unless somebody vouches for you. AI maps the route, but humans open the door. That constraint is the product.” — Øyvind Kvamme-Vik, CEO, Intro.community Inc.

The product’s distinguishing feature is its emphasis on introductions based on existing trust networks, designed to minimise unwanted communication and ensure high engagement per connection.

Target Audience and Growth Perspectives

Intro.community is targeting a user base made up of founders, investors, commercial leaders, and recruiters. The company estimates that this group represents a potential global reach of 50 million professionals. The invite-only model is intended to create a high-value, curated environment for business networking, distinct from broader open platforms.

The company has indicated that more details on a full-scale launch will be announced later this autumn. The approach aims to leverage both artificial intelligence for route mapping and human endorsement for permissioned access, setting a clear product differentiation in the professional networking landscape.

Board and Investor Model Distinguishes Intro.community

Intro.community’s model combines established industry expertise at the board level with a differentiated, trust-based approach to network growth. While the initial soft launch will be by invitation only, the firm expects continued expansion of its investor and user base as it heads toward a broader market entry later in the year.
