The Future of Meaningful Networking
Overview
In this episode of Collisions YYC, Tyler Chisholm speaks with James McInnes, founder of Prompty, a Calgary-based platform making networking more human, inclusive, and memorable. What started with one forgotten business card turned into a two-year journey to build a tool that captures not just contact info, but the stories and context that make relationships meaningful.
Together, they explore:
- Why networking is broken and how Prompty aims to fix it
- The psychology of memory and its role in authentic relationships
- How friction-free tech creates space for introverts and extroverts alike
- The limitations of LinkedIn and other transactional platforms
- James’ personal journey through foster care and how it shaped his perspective on trust
- What Stampede, pancakes, and NFC buttons reveal about connection in action
This episode is for anyone tired of surface-level networking and curious about how human-centred technology can deepen relationships and create lasting impact.
