One account · six workspaces · six roles

A startup ecosystem platform where the pieces already know each other.

The incubator you applied to, the mentor you booked, the investor reading your deck and the engineer you are trying to hire can all see the same company. You update it once.

Why any of this matters

A founder's first year, in six different tools

None of these steps is unusual. That is the point - every one of them is normal, and every one of them throws away what the last one knew.

  1. Month 1A form and a spreadsheet

    She applies to an incubator. Company details, traction, team - typed into a Google Form. The program scores applications in a shared sheet where two reviewers mean different things by 'seven'.

  2. Month 3A calendar and an inbox

    She is in. The program assigns a mentor. Four emails to find a slot, a fifth with a video link, and no record afterwards that the session happened at all.

  3. Month 5A deck and a drive folder

    An investor asks for metrics. She rebuilds them from memory, because the numbers in her application are five months stale and nobody has asked for them since.

  4. Month 7A job post and a DM

    She needs an engineer. She posts it in three communities and asks around, with no idea that a mentor in the program already knows two people who would fit.

The incubator, the mentor, the investor and the candidate were all looking at the same company - and not one of them was looking at the same record.

That is the argument for building all of it in one place. Not that a single tool is tidier, but that the incubator's evaluation, the mentor's sessions, the investor's diligence and the company's own metrics stop being four disconnected accounts of the same eighteen months.

What is actually in here

Six workspaces, and what each one actually does

Described as it works today, not as it is meant to look. Where something is not built, this page says so.

The network

Feed, communities and messaging

The part people expect, built properly rather than as a comment box. Post with media and polls, mention people, follow hashtags, and message anyone directly or in a group in real time.

Communities are the part that scales past a group chat: private channels, questions asked before someone joins, invite links, an approval queue, written rules, and a moderation queue with a record of what was actioned. Organisers can see whether the community is growing, who is actually contributing, and who stopped showing up.

Events

Run a meetup, or run a hackathon

The deepest module in the product, and it runs from selling a ticket to the attendance record afterwards. Set ticket types, take payment, approve registrations or run a waitlist that promotes people automatically, and export the list.

On the day, check people in by QR, in bulk, or per session. Run the sessions live with video you can pause and resume, take pinned questions and live polls, and record it. Team-based events get proper team formation - invites, join requests, a join code, and a lead who can hand over - with the organiser approving teams before the day. Speakers, sponsors and recurring dates are handled, and you can email attendees in campaigns with a test send first. Judging, where a competition has one, you run your own way - the platform does not score submissions.

Hiring

Jobs that know who you already know

A job board is easy. Using the network behind it is the point. Post a role with your own screening questions, take applications with resumes attached, and let people bookmark roles or set alerts.

For the candidate, a posting shows how their skills line up against what is being asked, which roles are similar, and which of their connections already work there - so an application can start as an introduction instead of a form.

Mentorship

A practice, not a directory listing

Mentors get the scheduling, billing and payment machinery a real practice needs. Publish recurring availability, and define the sessions you offer - one-off, or as a package people can subscribe to.

Sessions are booked, held over video in the product, and recorded if you want them to be. Reviews build a public profile. Earnings are tracked and paid out to your own account, and you can see how sessions, mentees and income are trending. Incubators and investment firms can attach you to their programs.

Investing

Deal flow, committee and portfolio

The workspace people are most surprised to find here. Source from the network, keep watchlists and saved searches, and see the path to a warm introduction rather than guessing at one. A deal moves through stages with its notes, documents and meetings attached to it.

Take it to committee and record the decision. Issue a term sheet, ask the founder for specific numbers on a set reporting rhythm, and open a deal room - including one an incubator has granted you access to. Release money in tranches. After the cheque, follow valuations, follow-on rounds, partial exits, exits and write-offs. Firms add their team with permissions that match the job, and introductions made through a broker carry their commission.

Incubation

The operating system for a program

An incubator or accelerator gets its own workspace under its own branding, separate from everyone else's. Run programs and batches, register cohorts in bulk, and take applications you can send back for changes rather than rejecting outright.

Panels score against a rubric you define, so results are comparable across reviewers and across cohorts. Ask for documents and specific data and see what is still outstanding. Ask a cohort for the same figures on a schedule and see who has answered. Allocate desks and offices with pricing, receipts and payouts, and let people book facilities by the hour. Funding is followed from its source, to the program it was allocated to, to the tranche that reached a specific startup. Announcements, tasks and attachments keep the cohort moving, and you can publish cohort data outward when a funder asks for it.

Underneath all of it

One account, not six logins

Every workspace above runs on the same platform and the same identity. A mentor attached to an incubator, invited into an investor's deal room, is one account throughout - not three.

  • Permissions set per person, not per job title
  • Each organisation sees only its own workspace
  • Subscriptions, invoices and billing history in one place
  • A record of who accessed what, and when
  • Payments and video built in, not bolted on
  • Chat, notifications and live updates that arrive instantly

One identity

Six roles, and you can hold more than one

A founder who also mentors does not need a second account. The role changes what the product shows you; the profile, the connections and the history stay the same.

Founder

Run the company, not just a profile

Your company gets one workspace - the team, the documents, the deck, and traction you record as it happens rather than reconstructing it before a raise. Apply to incubation programs without retyping any of it, and follow a funding request through to the money arriving. Book mentors, book desks, and keep each investor conversation in one thread instead of a mailbox.

Mentor

A practice with billing attached

Publish the hours you are free and the kinds of session you offer, singly or as a package. People book a slot and pay for it, you meet them over video here, and the money reaches your account without you chasing an invoice. Reviews build on your public profile, and incubators and funds can attach you to their programs.

Investor

Deal flow through to portfolio

Source from the network, keep a watchlist, and move a deal through its stages with the notes, documents and meetings attached to it rather than scattered. Take it to committee and record what was decided. Issue the term sheet, ask the founder for the numbers you need, and release the money in tranches. After the cheque, track valuations, follow-ons and exits in the same place.

VC Partner

Investing for a firm, not on your own

Choose what kind of investor you are when you set up - angel, angel network, venture capital, corporate VC, family office, or a government, university or accelerator fund - and you get a workspace shaped for it. Add your team with permissions that match what each person actually does. Deals are assigned to an owner and visible to whoever should see them, so nobody rebuilds context before a partner meeting. Introductions made through a broker carry their commission with them.

Student

A way in that isn't a cold email

A profile that shows your education, skills and the things you have actually built. Join communities and turn up to events, form a team for a hackathon, and apply to jobs where the founder reading your application can see the rest of your work. Book a mentor when you want someone to look at it with you.

Freelancer

Findable by the people hiring

A profile with your skills and portfolio that founders find through search and networking, on a platform where the people hiring are already looking. Communities, events and job applications work the same as for anyone else. Contracts and payments are not built yet - you agree those with the client directly.

One account. Every role.

Your incubation team, your startups, the mentors you bring on and the investors who follow them all sign in with the same account. One person can be a founder here and a mentor there and switch between them - which is why nobody has to be re-onboarded twice.
