a new primitive for your GTM

Ads you rent. Content you grind. Favors compound.

Launch day used to mean begging your group chat. Now you put up the points, and a queue full of founders — people who know exactly how hard this is — picks up your request like a quest board. Every action verified, every click tracked back to your marketing report, every point accounted for on an append-only ledger.

The loop that launches startups

01

Do favors for founders like you

Open the queue, clear a few cards: tear down an onboarding flow, share a launch, feature a product on your blog. Five minutes between deploys.

02

Earn points that mean something

Nothing mints until the work is verified — scraped, AI-graded, or approved. Fraud gets clawed back from the ledger. Always.

03

Spend them on your launch

Bundle launch-day shares, feedback rounds, testimonials, and featured articles into one request. The crowd shows up because showing up pays.

reputation is the real flex

Points get spent. Reputation is forever.

Every verified help also earns reputation that never decreases when you spend. It gates bigger bounties, ranks the leaderboard, and badges your public profile.

real talk

“Sounds great, but…” — answered straight.

I don't have time for another community.

Good — this isn't one. No feed to scroll, no chat to keep up with. It's a queue you clear: the median action takes ~2 minutes, and ten focused minutes covers a full day of earning.

I have no audience. What's my help worth?

Follower count isn't the unit here. Feedback, reviews, testimonials, and articles pay full points from anyone — and on the receiving end, thirty genuine founders beat one influencer every time.

Points sound like a gimmick.

They're closer to accounting. Append-only ledger, verification before any payout, automatic clawbacks for anything fake. The points just make reciprocity enforceable.

What if I post a request and nobody helps?

You can't lose points to silence. They're set aside when you publish, paid only for work you approve, and anything unused returns automatically at the deadline.

founding-member window is open

Stop launching into the void.

Join the co-op where helping other founders is literally how you market your own startup. The leaderboard is short, the badges are unclaimed, and founding reputation compounds the longest. Your first 250 points are on the house.
