Paid networking is broken.
So we stopped selling it.
One open meeting. Fifty dollars, once. A year of access. No tiers, no upgrades, no obligations — and nobody performing.
Attention is a commodity. Trust is the only true currency.
Every network sells you attention — a room full of people who might, one day, need what you do.
Trust is what actually moves work between businesses, and trust doesn’t come from a membership tier. It comes from showing up, being useful, and doing what you said.
A monthly fee turns curiosity into obligation. And obligation is what people fake.
We ran a paid membership network for years. It worked. Real introductions, real deals, real partnerships.
And underneath it, slowly, the thing that makes people collaborate — genuine interest in each other — wore down into a calendar entry. Attendance became a chore. Conversations became transactions. The fee that was supposed to signal commitment ended up manufacturing the opposite.
So we did away with it.
An open meeting. That’s the whole product.
Pay $50, once
Not a month. Not a year that renews. Once.
Go through NET_SYNC
Ten minutes, automated. We read what you do and who you need to meet, so your first meeting isn’t a cold room.
Get your link
One Zoom link. It doesn’t change. You’re in for twelve months.
No tiers. No “upgrade to unlock introductions.” Nothing to keep paying for. If you get value, you’ll come back. If you don’t, you’re out $50 and an hour — and we’d rather that than a year of you resenting a direct debit.
Pay once, go through NET_SYNC, get your link. Nothing else to remember.
For you if
You run a service business in NZ or AU, you’d rather have three useful conversations than thirty business cards, and you’re fine being introduced by a system rather than a handshake.
Not for you if
You want a room to pitch to. There’s no pitching. That was half the problem.
