The real questions.

No. A vendor cannot reach you without writing the specific initiative or problem they want to discuss, and that reason is shown to you in plain language before the meeting is requested. The conversation itself is led by your priorities, not a sales pitch. Vendors who treat it as a cold pitch lose access. The model only works if executives genuinely want to be here, so it is designed around your interests, not theirs.

You define it. You tell us the priorities, initiatives, and problems you would take a conversation about, as broad or as narrow as you like. Anything outside that scope never reaches you. You can update or pause your topics at any time, and a vendor still has to state a specific reason that fits before a request is shown to you.

No. We hold a deliberate 10:1 balance, at least ten executives for every vendor we admit, so no leader is ever the whole room. For a typical founding executive that is two to four requests a quarter that actually fit, not a daily inbox to manage.

Nothing. Declining is the normal case, not the exception. There is no penalty, no score, no follow-up, and no explanation required. You see the stated reason first precisely so that saying no is fast and free. A vendor cannot contact you again about a declined request.

You choose from our curated shortlist of DGR-endorsed Australian charities, and you can nominate any other DGR-endorsed charity, which we verify and add before your first meeting. DGR is a higher-bar Australian Taxation Office endorsement, listed on the public register. You can change your nominated charity at any time, and nominate a different one for each meeting. Restricting it to DGR keeps every gift verifiable on the public register and traceable to a recognised Australian cause.

Once the meeting is held, the gift is paid to your chosen charity within 14 days and confirmed to you in writing. The amount is set by the published tier and paid in full.

Once the meeting takes place, the donation is committed and is paid within 14 days regardless of the outcome. That is deliberate. It stops vendors from gaming the system and removes any incentive to mediate the gift. If a vendor behaves badly in a meeting, the gift is still paid in full and the vendor loses access.

Nothing. Joining, declining requests, taking meetings, and leaving are all free. Vendors fund the platform and the donation. There is no future paid tier and no model where executives are charged. If that ever changed, the founding cohort is grandfathered in permanently.

Vendors apply, are interviewed, and are vetted before they can request a meeting. Every request is reviewed against your stated priorities; requests that do not fit are rejected before they reach you. Vendors who get repeated rejections, behave badly, or whose stated reason does not match what happens in the conversation lose access.

One short, focused meeting per request you accept, typically 45 minutes. No preparation, no follow-up homework, no obligation to continue after the call. You only take the meetings you want, and only see requests in categories you opted into. For a typical founding executive that is two to four meetings a quarter.

It is being built by Isobel Hardwick, an Australian operator with a long background on the sending side of B2B sales. There is no outside funding yet and the platform is in pre-launch validation. There is more on the how it works page. Isobel personally vets every founding-cohort application.
