Bengaluru first.
People helping people in Bengaluru's startup community, free by default and paid when you choose. We take no cut.
Meet new people, meet new ideas
Events put you in a room with people and thinking you would not have found alone.
Someone is ready to help
Members list how they can help. Find them by what they know and book time, online or in person.
Free by default, paid by choice
Help is free unless the person chooses a fee. Payments go directly between members.
Your community, connected
Every community gets its own space: members, events and bookings under its own name.
The screens members will see: find someone, join a community, host an event. These are illustrative previews; names and figures are examples.
Search by the question you have, pick a time, and book. Free or priced, online or in person.
Your community's own space: its events, its experts and its members, under its own name.
Meet new people and fresh ideas. Experts publish straight away; members publish after a short review.
A founder with a pricing question can sit down with someone who has repriced a product, without needing a mutual contact.
Experienced people give time when they have it, free or for a fee, and keep what they earn.
Introductions turn into sessions and events, and the record of what happened is there for funders.
Launching in November, Bengaluru first. Sign up now and the room is ready when you arrive.
Nobody should miss a goal for lack of access to people, knowledge or mindset.
Members and founders
Find your people.
Join the communities you belong to, go to events that bring you new faces and fresh thinking, and book someone who has been where you are going. Free to join in the pilot.
Join a communityExperts
Be found by what you know.
Apply, get vetted, and be found by what you know. Help for free when you have time, or set a fee and keep all of it. Host an event, keep helping the same founder, and be listed next to experts, not everyone.
