Three introductions a month, made by hand, to people who can pay you, hire you, or move your company forward.

Three introductions a month, made by hand, to the people who can pay you, hire you, or move your company forward. You tell me what you need, I read it myself, and I find the specific person who can move it.

$250 a month. Cancel any time.

Have a question first? Take fifteen minutes with me and tell me what you need. If I do not think I can help, I will tell you that instead of taking your money.

$100,000 from one introduction.

Aurora Wenters joined the Propel cohort. We invited her ourselves, by hand, and introduced her to an investor who closed $100,000. That is the product. Not the room, not the email. The introduction.

What you get

Three introductions a month. Not a directory, a Slack group or a database to search. Each one is an email from me to two people, with context on both sides, sent because I think the meeting is worth having.

Free entry to Propel's paid events: the Thursday rooms, the investor rooms and the fashion week events. At the monthly member dinners, you only pay for your own meal.

Your card gets read first. Everything routed through Propel starts as a Propel Card. Members go to the front of that queue.

An honest no. If I cannot route what you need, I say so, and I tell you who might be able to. That is worth more than a polite maybe.

How it works

  1. You fill in a Propel Card. What you are working on, what you need, and what you can offer someone else. About four minutes.

  2. I read it myself. Not a keyword match. I look across everyone who has filed a card and the people I know outside the list.

  3. I check both sides first. Before I connect anyone, I write to each person separately. Nobody gets a surprise introduction.

  4. The introduction goes out with context. Both people know exactly why they are in the same thread.

  5. I follow up. Introductions that go quiet are the failure mode of networking, so mine get chased.

Who this is for

  • Founders who need one specific person: a lead investor for a seed round, a first enterprise customer or paid pilot, a distribution partner, or an early senior hire.

  • Investors and family offices who want deal flow a person has already read, with a short note on why the founder is worth their time.

  • Operators and service providers, such as lawyers, accountants, agencies and fractional executives, who want to meet the companies that need exactly what they do.

Not for: anyone who wants a list of emails or a high volume of meetings. If you plan to send the same message to two hundred people, do not pay for this.

The rooms you walk into free

Membership includes Propel’s paid events: fashion week in New York and the Hamptons, investor rooms, the family office room, and the Thursday rooms online, where everyone gets two minutes to say what they need and I make introductions live.

Where your card ends up

Your introductions get built from what you write on the card, and the public half of your work lives on propel.earth. Founders are already up there with a stage, a funding goal and the problem they are solving.

Start free, then join

File a card first. It is free, it takes four minutes, and it tells me whether I can help you before you spend anything. If you are not a founder, or your need does not fit the card, use Submit anything to Propel instead. Same result: I read it and go find who can move it.

Then, if you want your card at the front of the queue and three introductions a month built from it:

Questions first is fine. Fifteen minutes, whenever suits you.
