8Contacts is a new networking platform that directly connects users looking to expand their business. Unlike social media platforms that are noisy, 8Contacts allows users to create a "shopping list" of their ideal contacts around the world and be directly connected to them. 8Contacts makes money through premium memberships and commissions on networking consultations and brand ambassador services for businesses looking to expand overseas or who don't want additional staff.
