4 Steps to a Warm Introduction
Post a Need
“I need a warm introduction to a ”
Post what you need — a job intro, investor connection, mentor, or research contact.
Someone Offers to Help
I know someone — I can make that introduction
Someone in the community reads your request and offers a connection that may help.
Introduction Made
You meet the person who may be able to help.
Have a conversation with your helper first to see whether the introduction is a good fit.
Credits Earned
The introducer earns credits they can use when they need a warm introduction.
The giving loop continues. Everyone gives. Everyone receives. That’s the MOF community.
Trust & Safety
Built-In Accountability at Every Step
Good introductions start with clear expectations and care for the people involved.
Getting to Know You
An accurate profile helps people understand who you are and how you can help.
School Affiliation
Share your school connection where it applies to you.
Video Vetting Call
Virtual face-to-face vetting call before any introduction is made.
A Record of Real Help
Keep track of the favors you take part in and what happens next.
Care for Every Connection
Check that everyone is comfortable being introduced before sharing their details.
Clear Credit Milestones
The conversation and introduction are separate steps: 1 credit for the call and 3 for the introduction.
Credit Economy
How Credits Work
Credits keep the exchange fair and flowing. Everyone gives, everyone receives.
Post a Request
Posting a request is free. A completed favor uses 4 credits: 1 for the vetting call and 3 for the introduction.
Help Someone
Earn credits by helping someone make a connection. Use those credits when you need an introduction of your own.
Report Outcomes
Let your helper know what happened next. A thank-you and a little follow-up can mean a lot.

Team
Built by People Who Get It
MOF was built by Georgia Tech students who saw how much a single warm introduction can change a career, and how many talented people never get one simply because they don't know the right person.
So we built a simple exchange to close that gap. Make an introduction for someone, earn credits, and use them when you need a warm introduction of your own.
And every favor counts for more than credits. Each one becomes a verified record of the good you've done: who you helped, what happened, and what it led to. Over time, that becomes your Impact History, a reputation earned by actually showing up for people.
