FAQ

Common questions.

The money, the people, and how it all works.

Network Operations

What am I actually paying for?

A warm intro to the right person, made by a super-connector who knows them and believes the fit is real. The person confirms their identity when they accept, so you know you're meeting a real, named individual.

Isn't this just paying to pester people?

No. It's designed so it can't become that. Every intro is made by a connector who already knows the person and thinks it's a genuine fit for both sides. The person has to accept before you ever meet. We don't sell contact details and we don't do cold outreach.

Are you holding my money?

No, and that's rather the point. The reward is a hold with your own bank, via Stripe, like a hotel deposit. We can't touch it. It becomes a charge only when you approve a completed intro.

What if no one takes my request?

Your bank releases the hold automatically. The only thing you've spent is the posting fee.

What if the meeting goes nowhere?

That can happen. We can't promise outcomes, and we won't pretend otherwise. What we promise: the intro was real, the person was verified, and you approved it before paying.

Why don't I see names when I review an offer?

Two reasons. You judge the opportunity on its merits, and the connector's relationships stay private. You meet the person once they've agreed to the intro.

Could someone steal my contacts through this?

No. Reviews are identity-blind, networks aren't browsable, and a contact's identity is only revealed when they personally accept an intro.

Do connectors have to take my request?

No. You should be glad of that. Connectors only advance requests they can genuinely help with, because their standing depends on it. Their "no" is what makes their "yes" worth paying for.

Why would the person want to meet me?

Because a good intro is worth their time too. The connector only brings two people together when the fit works both ways, and the person accepts on their own terms.

What does the connector get?

The reward, minus our cut, paid only when the intro is accepted. Their incentive is the same as yours: a genuine fit.

Is this live right now?

Yes. What you see here is what runs today, nothing aspirational. We're in private beta and growing the connector network carefully.

Can I have my data removed?

Of course. Use the data opt-out page or just email us. Details in the Privacy Policy.
