Your first introduction

Say what you are building and what is missing.

A company, a factory, a product, a career. It takes four minutes. If there is someone good for you, you hear within a week, and why. If there is not, you hear that too.

Both asked first. Always a reason. Your pace. Give first.

Four minutes · Type it, or just talk

About you

What you are missing

What are you here for?

Pick as many as fit. It can change.

What you can give

Rather just talk?

Two or three minutes in your own words is the best version of this form. Worth touching on

  • The hardest thing you have actually built or solved, and how.
  • What you are working on now, and where you want it to go.
  • Who or what is missing.

By sending this you agree to how your information is handled. Introductions are written from what you put here and what is already public, and only once you have said yes to one. Nothing is shown to anyone else, and you can be removed any time. The full version is on the privacy page.

What happens next

A person, then a reason.

  1. Within days

    You hear back from a person, not an autoresponder.

  2. Within a week

    Your first introduction, with the reason it was chosen for you. Both of you say yes before either name moves.

The rule of the room

A rising tide lifts all boats. This one is only for the people rowing.

Candid and generous. This industry does better when we talk to each other honestly, about the real things, not the things we post about. Thirty years in or just finding your way, you belong here if you would rather build than talk about building.
