She found out that over 85% of acquaintances resulted in investment transactions, long-term cooperation and multi-million contracts that her colleagues entered into.

At the moment, it is known that Node plans to focus on three main areas of development for its own platform:
- Search for information - improving its quality by clarifying the semantic links between people, companies and products.
- Personalization - the specification of these relationships at the level of the individual and his tasks related to the conclusion of transactions and the search for partners for cooperation.
- Cross-platform - scaling and implementation of technology in various industries.
Node has already profiled more than a billion entities and plans to use the platform’s capabilities not only in sales, but also in such areas as dating and searching for the most optimal company for employment.
