Show HN: Vantage – Enrich calendar invites with LinkedIn and firmographics

A Chrome extension called Vantage overlays job details—such as title, company, LinkedIn profile, and location—onto calendar invites to help users prepare for external meetings. The tool was built by a longtime HN member.

Background

- Vantage is a Chrome extension that pulls LinkedIn and firmographic data (industry, company size, etc.) and displays it alongside calendar invites, saving prep time before external meetings. - "Firmographics" is the company-level equivalent of demographics — data like revenue range, industry, funding stage, or number of employees. - "Show HN" is a long-running tradition on Hacker News (HN) where developers share personal projects for feedback; it carries weight in the tech community as a signal of indie, bottoms-up development. - The creator is a long-time HN member and built this solo — noteworthy because enterprise-style sales-intelligence tools (e.g., ZoomInfo, Lusha) are usually expensive, centralized products, not lightweight browser extensions made by one person.
