NexusG8
For founders & startups

Your first hundred customers are already in rooms you’re in.Reach them by address, not by guesswork.

Every startup dies of the same two things: no reach, and no proof anybody wants it. If you are building for a specific community, the people you need, your first customers, your first adviser and the person who introduces you to both, have already said who they are on NexusG8. Find them, ask them, and validate in an afternoon.

Open now, and free to start. Your address is yours as soon as you choose it.

Your gate on the table

Every conversation leaves with your contact, and you with theirs.

At a showcase, a market stall or a pitch night, your own table-top gate does the follow up for you. Somebody taps or scans it and lands on your page: who you are, what you are building, what you are looking for, and one button to swap contacts.

  1. 1

    Swap contacts

    They get your card and you get theirs, saved to your People with a note. No business cards, no follow up left unwritten.

  2. 2

    Visit your website

    Your site, your shop and your deck behind one address you own, so the link on the table never changes.

  3. 3

    Looking for, said out loud

    First stockists, an investor, a co-founder: on your page as pills people search, matched to who can help.

  4. 4

    The next step, one tap away

    Order a sample, book a tasting, join the waitlist. Whatever moves them from interested to customer.

The problem

Building is the easy part. Being found is the hard part.

01

Reach costs more than the product

Ads charge you to rent attention from strangers, and cold messages get a reply rate nobody likes to talk about.

02

Validation from people being kind

Friends say they love it. The people who would actually buy it never get asked, because you cannot see who they are.

03

The right introduction is one person away

The investor, the stockist, the first big customer: somebody you know knows them. Nothing shows you who.

The shift

Cold outreach to strangersWarm routes to exactly the right people

What you get

An address, a Command Center and a live map.

The same rails every community on NexusG8 runs on, from the first day. Here is what each one means for you.

01 · Your address

One address for the company and the founder.

Your deck, your waitlist, your booking link and what you are looking for, behind one address you can put in every pitch, email and badge. Change the deck tomorrow, the link stays the same.

02 · Your Command Center

Turn a waitlist into a community.

Run a Community Gate for your early users, included with Pro. Announce a beta, a launch or a pop up from your Command Center and it reaches everyone who opted in, in the app and by email.

03 · Your live map

See your market before you spend on it.

Who in your communities offers what you need, and who needs what you make. Read from what people actually stored, in one shared vocabulary, so somebody looking to invest and somebody raising are two halves of the same word.

Made for finding your market

Addressable, in the literal sense.

People on NexusG8 say what they offer and what they are looking for, in one shared vocabulary, inside communities they chose to join. If your product, good or service is built for a particular community, that is your target market, organised by what it needs, and reachable through the people you already share a room with.

Validate in an afternoon

A one question poll on your page. Counts only, never who said what, and under five people the whole question folds.

Found by what you offer

Looking for investors, a co-founder or first customers sits on your card as a pill. Green is what someone can help you with, gold what you can help them with.

Warm routes, opened for you

Our agency, a paid service by application, opens community pilots, partnerships and introductions through people who know both sides.

How it works

Three steps, and you are in.

  1. 1

    Claim your name and say what you need

    Investors, a co-founder, first customers: on your card, in words people search.

  2. 2

    Join the communities you’re already in

    Each one you join widens who can find you, and who you can find.

  3. 3

    Ask, validate, launch

    Poll the people you are building for, take the warm introductions, and launch to people who chose to hear.

Questions

Good questions.

Is this a fundraising platform?

No. NexusG8 doesn’t sell securities or broker investments. It helps the right people meet; anything you agree after that is between you.

Can I reach people outside my communities?

Routing works across the communities you share with people. To reach new communities, our agency can make the introduction.

Who sees what I need?

Your offers and needs show to people you share a community with. You decide what goes on your card.

The right people are already in the room.

Claim your name, say what you are building, and let them find you.
