Home / How it works
The flowFrom sign up to real support, in three steps.
Joining is free. Member resources like mentorship and expert consultations are limited, so a short application makes sure they reach the founders ready to use them. Everything free lives in one place: the Free Starter Boost.
Submit your application
Create your profile and tell us about your startup and what you need right now. It takes a few minutes.
- Pick your role or roles: founder, talent, operator, finance or investor.
- Describe your problem, stage and the kind of help you are looking for.
- Post a specific requirement if you have one, so the right people can find you.
Once you qualify
We review applications to match limited resources with the founders ready to use them. Qualifying is about fit and readiness, not pedigree.
- We look at what you are building and where a mentor or expert would genuinely move the needle.
- You will hear back with what you have been matched to and any next steps.
- If it is not the right moment yet, we will point you to the free resources that help most.

Qualified members unlock the member resources layer: real people and expert help on top of everything that is already free.
