Referral PatchFree cohort assembly; paid membership and Connect gated

A smaller local network with useful reasons to return

Bring work. Find help. Know who is nearby.

An email-first paid local group with verified profiles, direct introductions, overflow-job requests, and a weekly opportunity digest.

Membership starts at $19. Each distinct, consented service referral confirmed complete after its dispute hold reduces the next bill by $3, up to five credits and a $4 floor.

VALIDATION LADDER

The network grows before the marketplace does.

Useful member behavior comes first. Transaction routing is a later layer, not a launch-day dependency.

Phase 1$19/mo

Directory + digest

Profiles, direct introduction requests, and a weekly local opportunity email.

Phase 2Included

Requests + reputation

Member submissions, completion feedback, saves, and follows after moderation demand is proven.

GatedNo launch fee

Marketplace checkout

No routed payments unless a later evidence gate proves substantial verified provider activity, completed outcomes, member demand, positive economics, and approved legal and tax responsibility.

VERIFIED LAUNCH STANDARD

What runs now. What stays gated.

A B2B membership and consent-based introduction tool. Members contract and get paid directly; Eleven Wildcards charges only the membership. Interest and sample requests are open; paid activation or fulfillment remains controlled by the specific gates below.

WORKFLOW
  1. Verify ten operating businesses across five low-risk complementary categories.
  2. Use structured profiles and referral links—no forum or group chat.
  3. Show the named referrer/provider and credit disclosure before prospect consent.
  4. Qualify only completed consented service referrals.
  5. Apply noncash $3 membership credits, at most five, never below a $4 monthly bill.
