Get access to at-cost products, book help sessions, and start earning credits by helping others.

You list what you’re great at — from fundraising to retail ops. Others can book a 1:1 call with you when they need it.
You get 3 credits to start. Use them to book time with other founders. Help someone? You earn a credit back.
Earn credits by giving your time or referring new members. No likes, no vanity — just real momentum.
Skip the noise. Get fast answers from fellow founders who’ve been there — whether it’s sourcing, shipping, or scaling. The vibe is helpful, not hype.
Every member offers their product at-cost to the community. Try each other’s goods, give feedback, and build relationships.
Get access to curated templates, SOPs, and founder-proven tools — built by members, for members. What works gets shared. What’s shared helps everyone grow.
Avoid the guesswork. Tap into a vetted directory of designers, agencies, legal experts, and vendors — all personally recommended and upvoted by fellow founders.
We bring in operators who’ve actually built something — to talk about what went wrong, not just what worked. No slide decks. No sugarcoating. Just the hard-earned truth behind real growth. Advanced level conversations only.
We pool our power as founders to unlock better rates on software, shipping, and services. Plus, you’ll find unique offers from other members.

Helpful is for founders of CPG and consumer-facing brands who are actively building. It works best if you’re curious, generous, and open to sharing your wins, mistakes, and expertise.
Access to at-cost products from other brands, 1:1 help sessions with vetted founders, curated perks and tools, and a private, low-noise group of operators who actually respond.
You start with 3 credits. Use them to book time with other members. When you help someone or refer a new founder who joins, you earn credits back. This helps create balance in the community where all members participate. You cannot buy or sell credits.
Yup — this only works if everyone gives and gets. You don’t need to be available all the time, but you do need to show up when you can. We track engagement.
The fee helps cover the cost of running Helpful — from the software stack to the team supporting members and building new features. Helpful was initially funded by Ankit and his company, HappyBoards. The membership fee ensures we can operate sustainably, without relying on ads, sponsors, or selling your data. Members will have a strong input on the upcoming feature set for the community.
