Meetings that fund what matters.

TheGoodIntro is an invite-only network where vetted vendors can request a short meeting with a senior leader, but only when they have a specific, relevant reason. Executives take the few worth their time, and each one sends a real gift to an Australian charity they choose.

Why this exists

Your calendar is full of pitches that go nowhere.

The handful of conversations actually worth your time are buried under cold outreach that was never relevant in the first place. TheGoodIntro exists to fix that, and to make the meetings that do happen count for something. A vendor has to state the specific reason a meeting matters before it can reach you. Every meeting you accept sends a real gift to an Australian charity you choose.

01The problem

Time lost to noise

Senior leaders are the most pitched and least protected people in the building. Generic outreach floods the inbox, and the one conversation worth having is lost in the pile.

02What we do

Relevance before access

Access is earned, not bought. A vendor has to name the initiative behind the request, you see why before you say yes, and nothing outside your stated priorities ever lands.

03Why we're here

Time that leaves something behind

Your attention is scarce, so the time you give should mean something. We turn a single relevant conversation into a real, named gift to a cause you choose. Fewer meetings, more Good.

What executives are saying

Arul Arogyanathan

Chief Information Officer, Village Roadshow

Top 50 CIO (#1 in 2025 and #13 in 2024)

The premise is exactly right. Senior time is scarce, and if a genuine gift to a charity is the price of a good meeting, that is a trade I will always take.

David Lean

Group Head of IT, James Pascoe Group

If I am going to spend an hour with someone, this is how it should work. Qualified on both sides, and a real contribution to a charity that matters to me.

Michael Denari

GM of AI, Zip

Former Global Head of IT, Canva

My time is my scarcest resource, so how I choose to spend it really needs to make an impact. Knowing the meetings are also giving back to a charity I care about makes it worthwhile.

Rick Green

GM Data & AI, Super Retail Group

It's simple and respectful to a leader's time. No chasing, no cold pitching, just a genuine introduction that also gives back.

What we do

Two sides of one room.

How it works for you

Three steps. Nothing hidden.

You set the topics you will take a meeting about. Before anything reaches you, a vendor has to state, specifically, why a conversation is relevant. You choose which ones happen, decline the rest with no follow-up, and every meeting you take sends a real gift to a charity you choose.

Read the full model end to end

Step 01

You set what is relevant

Tell us the priorities, initiatives, or problems you would actually take a conversation about. Anything outside that scope never reaches you. You can update the list any time.

Step 02

You see a stated reason, then decide

A vendor must write the specific initiative or problem before they can ask. You see it in plain language and decide freely. No obligation, no penalty for declining, no follow-up unless you invite it.

Step 03

One short meeting funds a real cause

A scheduled conversation, on your terms. A real gift reaches your chosen charity within 14 days, confirmed in writing. You can step away at any point, and your details are never sold or shared.
