Founders Loop

The Loops

Page 05 of 12

Find the few people you need next.

Approved founders join the matching pool as they arrive. Hermes suggests shared focus and complementary needs and offers; Sara reviews introductions and members decide whether to connect.

Let’s spark off each other. Be seen.

Join the Loop

Choose your primary Loop when you join. It sets your colour on the global map and your first room.

Connect the dots

Hermes reads profiles, asks what you need next, searches members first, then approved allies and sponsors.

Be seen

A public gallery card, a dot on the world map and a shop window — your work visible to people who can use it.

Stay in the loop

Monthly show & tell, Loop chat, and follow-up until something real happens: a meeting, trial, referral or sale.

Six loops

Find your loop.

Every member sits in one of six loops, then adds specialist tags. Hermes scores every pair of founders — 3 points per shared tag, 2 for the same loop, 1 per shared problem word, and 4 when one founder's need is another's offer — and clusters the results.

How a connection is made

One focused connection at a time. Founders Loop is not a mass directory or an automated invitation machine — Hermes recommends, Sara decides, and nobody is introduced without mutual consent.

  1. 01

    Understand

    What you are building, the gap you found, what you need next and what you can offer.

  2. 02

    Search inside

    Members first — genuine fit, common ground, shared challenge or complementary capability.

  3. 03

    Check the edge

    Then approved allies and sponsors, then public sources to identify people worth inviting.

  4. 04

    Explain the match

    Who could help whom, why it matters and what the first conversation should achieve.

  5. 05

    Ask Sara

    Sara approves every invitation, approach and sensitive introduction. Consent both ways.

  6. 06

    Follow through

    Prompt the follow-up and record the result: meeting, trial, referral, sale, partnership — or nothing.

Stronger together: a founder gets little traction approaching a large manufacturer, bank or specialist alone. The same request carried by a focused network is heard.
