This week was such a full-circle moment. I got to share one of our first brick-and-mortar Founding Business Members, NB Cryo in New Braunfels, and it reminded me exactly why this app exists. We’re building a place where recommendations come from real people, trusted connections, friends, friends-of-friends, and the businesses our network actually loves. Current app status: Beta is in Founding Member hands! 👤 Profiles are being added 🏢 Business profiles are being built 📍 Trusted recommendations are going in 💬 Messaging and destination search are being tested 🚀 Public launch goal: September 17 Founding Members: please plug in your profiles if you haven’t already. And if you’re watching this and thinking, “I want my business or recommendations inside 6DegreesApp before launch,” now is the time to become a Founding Member

The newest build is moving us closer to the real public launch version. The app is now testing: - Trusted nearby + regional connections - Destination search for connected recommendations - Member profiles, business profiles, photos, and recs - Basic messaging between members - Booking.com matching for accommodation recommendations. - - Founding Members: if you haven’t logged in and filled out your profile yet, please jump in and plug in your info so your profile can be part of what we’re building for launch. We’re getting closer. Keep going with me!

It’s the last day of summer break for my boys so we’re headed out to make the best of it! ☀️🏊‍♂️🤿🏄‍♂️ Today’s meeting will be moved to tomorrow. Stay tuned for time! I CAN NOT WAIT to share the most recent updates. PUBLIC LAUNCH: 🚀 September 17th

Mark your calendars!! Here we goooo! Things are moving, and I wanted to drop a quick little “where we are” update: - September 17, 2026: First public launch of 6DegreesApp - August 29, 2026: Big launch countdown announcement - 28 Founding Members: Already building this with us from the ground floor - Founding Membership closes at public launch: Last chance to lock in the perks is before September 17 - 40%: Founding Member qualifying recommendation commission rate - 10%: Standard member qualifying recommendation commission rate after launch - 40%: Founding Member referral commission during the build phase - $29-$99/month: Future business profile subscription range for standard members/businesses - iPhone + Android beta: Both are live and being tested now - Booking.com affiliate access: Approved and beginning to connect accommodation recommendations Drop a GIF to share in the excitement! Have you told anyone new about the app?

We’re adding something new as 6DegreesApp moves toward public launch: 🔥 Founding Members will not only earn 40% on Founding Membership referrals until the 1,000 spots are filled, THEY'LL ALSO NOW KEEP A CONTINUED REFERRAL ADVANTAGE AFTER LAUNCH‼️ That means when someone joins the app through their personal invite and later upgrades to a qualifying paid subscription, business profile, or paid feature, Founding Members will be eligible for a referral bonus tied to that upgrade. So the benefit doesn’t disappear when Founding Membership closes. It evolves. 👀 Founding Members are also locking in: ✨ Permanent 40% recommendation commission rate ✨ Business profile included permanently [this will be a monthly subscription for standard members] ✨ 40% commissions on Founding Membership sales through your referral link until the 1,000 spots are filled ✨ Early beta access + ability to help shape the app ✨ Founding Member status attached to your profile ✨ Access to this founding community while we build, test, brainstorm, and grow together And BIG DREAM moment: I would love for this to eventually include Founding Member experiences, meetups, and even an annual Founding Member trip. 🥹🌍 We’re at 24 Founding Members now, and the cap is 1,000. If you’re already a Founding Member, drop a “HEY!” below. If you’re on your way, drop “ON MY WAY!” 👇
