I do B2B sales (specifically, customer support for consumer-facing businesses), and I'd pay ~$1,000/mo for a service that solves this problem:

Which warm intros should I ask for? There are ~1,000 companies in my ideal customer profile. I've got ~500 friends who I'd feel comfortable asking for warm intros, and say these friends each have ~500 friends. After deduplicating, that's ~100,000 second-degree connections, some of whom are decision-makers at companies I'd like to sell to.

I'd want someone to go through my LinkedIn/Facebook/Instagram/Twitter/etc., and tell me something along the lines of: "Ben might know decision-makers at Companies A, B, C, D, and E." And, conversely, I'd like to know all the possible warm introductions that could lead me to Company A (e.g. "Ben, Max, and Jennifer could possibly introduce you to Alice, Bob, and Cameron at Company A").

All of this information is available to me; it's just a total O(N^2) pain to clean and aggregate it. Like, I can certainly spend an hour listening to podcasts and looking through Ben's LinkedIn connections, Facebook friends, Instagram followers - and seeing if any of them are COOs at CPG brands. But I'll run out of podcasts eventually, and then it's not a very high-leverage use of my time to repeat that process for Max, Jennifer, Nate, Christy, et al.

We built intrologic.com to do exactly that. Started like a side project to try to sell our previous product (a sales chatbot) but then took off on its own. Connect your networks and your friends and then you search for warm intros. It's free (we plan to make money only when an intro is made). You can sign-up at https://intrologic.com/start. I am the founder.

LinkedIn doesn't let you crawl their graph like this but they could do it

You have 500 friends?

I have about 20-30 people I still stay in contact with and it's super tough to schedule activities as it is. :(

This is a good an important problem - finding the right person to sell to (and a route to get to them) is very important in b2b with large businesses.
