Consent-first, always
Every person in the pool joined on purpose. Nobody is scraped, imported, or "found" without asking first. A person we haven't gotten a yes from is a lead, never a match.
OneGoodIntro
A letter of introduction · San Diego · early-access
A concierge intro service for San Diego founders who are past the "browse a directory" stage and want one human-checked warm intro — to an investor, advisor, or peer founder — sourced through real local networks, not a database.
First, plainly—
A single curated introduction, made by a person who knows both sides — not a swipe deck, not a self-serve directory, not a membership you pay into and hope pays off.
Every person in the pool joined on purpose. Nobody is scraped, imported, or "found" without asking first. A person we haven't gotten a yes from is a lead, never a match.
No algorithm decides the match. A human who has actually talked to both people proposes the pairing and explains, in plain language, why it makes sense.
$150, once, when you get your intro. No monthly fee, no annual dues, no membership tier to justify re-upping.
This is meant for—
Pre-seed and bootstrapped San Diego-area founders and solo operators — people below the revenue thresholds that gate the existing peer networks, who want one specific, well-vetted connection instead of a membership they can't yet justify.
Entrepreneurs' Organization requires at least $1M in annual revenue to join; YPO requires $16M+ in revenue or 50+ full-time employees. [sourced, eonetwork.org/membership & ypo.org/membership, fetched 2026-07-29] Everyone below those lines is currently served by nothing built for curated, one-off intros.
Not a pitch-deck inbox to manage — one specific, pre-vetted conversation at a time, sourced through a real co-working hub or builder circle, not a cold-outreach list.
Here is exactly how it goes—
Four steps, no software, no self-serve browsing.
Not "investors in general" — the specific kind of person and conversation that would move things forward right now.
Sourced from co-working hubs, builder communities, and direct referral — never scraped, never cold-added.
Both sides get a short, honest reasoning note before anyone agrees to anything.
No intro happens without both people opting in a second time, at the actual moment of connection.
On the matter of the fee—
Flat, one-time, no membership.
| Plan | Price | Who it's for |
|---|---|---|
| Single intro | $150 / one intro | An individual founder who wants one specific, well-vetted connection. |
| Hub partner (white-label) | $300–500 / mo | A co-working space or community that wants curated intros offered as a member perk, under its own brand. |
Pricing derived from professional-services time-value conventions ($150–250/hr) applied to a founder's own search time, and from the "heavier platform" subscription band ($300–900+/mo, bespoke/high-touch services), adapted for a concierge model. [derived, unverified hourly-value convention — see internal plan below for the full caveat]
A specimen, so you can see it—
Two simulated match scenarios — a founder asking for an investor intro, and an investor's advisory offer being matched to a founder. Every name and message below is invented for illustration.
Full scripted walkthrough, both sides of a match, with the human's reasoning shown at each step.
