What is an Alliance Group?
With Affinity Alliances, you can make allies with one individual at a time. However, you can also join an Alliance Group to collectively share your network with everyone in that group while also gaining access to everyone else's network within that group.
- Example: Many investment firms form Alliance Groups with their portfolio founders and executives so that they can all gain shared access to one another's networks.
