We are officially welcoming The Linguists Society as the Official Language Partner of 6DegreesApp. This partnership makes so much sense for what we’re building: a trusted global network where people can discover places, businesses, experiences, and connections through real relationships. As 6DegreesApp grows worldwide, language becomes part of the connection. The Linguists Society helps people learn and practice languages through real conversation, which fits beautifully with the heart of this app: people helping people feel more connected wherever they go. And for our Founding Members, Carlo is offering a special early perk: - 12 weeks free to learn Italian, Spanish, or French for the first 20 6DegreesApp members - 10% off annual subscriptions for anyone who joins through the 6DegreesApp partnership This is exactly the kind of aligned partnership I want to build into 6DegreesApp: useful, human, global, and rooted in connection. Welcome, The Linguists Society! @Carlo Tassone If you could feel confident speaking one new language, what would it be?

Please give a warm welcome to my friend @Frances Mendoza from HIGH SCHOOL, who hopped in as a new member and quickly became a 6DegreesApp founding member! Frances is fellow San Antonian, a mom and Luxury Scent Consultant who is Passionate about health & wellness, Body, Mind, & Soul. 🧘‍♀️ I am so excited to have you as a founding member and for you to be a part of this journey! I know you are going to be such a valuable asset to the building of this app! What's a place that you love recommending to others? Something that you will definitely put in your app profile?

When I first opened Founding Memberships, the plan was to keep them open until we hit 1,000 members. But the app is moving faster than expected. We now have: - A proven concept - beta app testing happening - real Founding Member profiles inside the app - trusted recommendations being added - business profiles being built - Booking.com affiliate approval underway - a public launch goal of August 29 So, I’m making a shift: Founding Memberships will now close at public launch. That means this is the final window to become one of the original Founding Members before 6DegreesApp opens publicly. Founding Members lock in: - 40% commission rate on qualifying recommendation commissions - business profile included permanently, which will be a paid monthly feature after launch - Founding Member recognition inside the app - early access to the beta/build process - voice in shaping the app - referral commissions while the Founding Member window is open - referral bonuses once app is launched if anyone downloads app from your personal referral link If you’ve been watching this come together and thinking, “I want to be part of this,” now is the time. Watch the VSL: HERE (after you enter your email) Become a Founding Member: HERE We are building this in real time, and it is getting exciting!

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!” 👇

We’re officially moving from “beta preview” into building toward a real public launch. The next goals are: ✅ Make account creation/login/profile setup smooth ✅ Make sure every user sees and edits their own profile correctly ✅ Strengthen recommendations: add, edit, save, retire, and search ✅ Keep improving messaging, blocking, privacy, and safety tools ✅ Build the standard user flow so the app works for more than just Founding Members ✅ Continue shaping the Founding Member upgrade path while spots are still open ✅ Start laying the foundation for affiliate links, payouts, subscriptions, and business profiles Also, quick shout out to @Kamal Ali for sharing a really smart support idea: as we grow, we’ll need a simple help flow inside the app, starting with FAQs, support email, and guided issue categories before ever jumping into expensive live support. That kind of feedback helps us think ahead and build this the right way. The goal is a stronger beta over the next couple of weeks, then moving toward a public launch-ready version after that. Founding Members: your feedback is still incredibly valuable. You’re helping shape what this becomes before the world sees it. 💛 We’re not just talking about the app anymore. We’re building it. 🧱
