Dealbook’s Andrew Ross Sorkin reports: It sounds like a Rolodex for the 1 percent: two million deal makers, power brokers and business executives — not only their names, but in many cases the names of their spouses and children and associates, their political donations, their charity work and more — all at a banker’s fingertips.

Never heard of it? Until recently, neither had I. But a few
months ago, whispers began that this young company was assembling a vast trove

Perella, Stanley F. Druckenmiller and Andrew Tisch.
It turns out that over the last two years, with a staff of
more than 800 people, mostly in India, Relationship Science has been quietly
building what it hopes will be the ultimate business Who’s Who. If it succeeds,
it could radically change the way Wall Street does business….
