You know brilliant people. Start a podcast, interview them, and earn cred every time a MatCap portfolio founder wants to meet one of your guests. No fund required — just the people you already know.
You have the network to be a great investor.
You're just not in the room — and nobody's keeping score.
A mic and a calendar link. That's the barrier to entry. No audience required on day one.
Anyone worth knowing — a young hustler chasing their first big job, a VC, talent ready to jump, an operator. Who you interview is wide open.
When a MatCap portfolio founder asks to meet one of your guests, you earn cred. Your conversations become a room that real, funded founders want into.
Not downloads. Not followers. Not production value. The single thing that counts is whether a founder in the MatCap portfolio — a real, funded startup — wants an intro to someone you've built a relationship with. Every guest is a node. Every meet request is cred: proof you belong in venture, and a track record you own before anyone hands you a fund.
↳ The portfolio is MatCap's growing roster of funded founders. They're always looking to meet sharp people — investors, operators, talent, future hires. Bring them guests worth meeting, and you climb.
The best guests are people a founder would want to meet — but who aren't obvious yet. Look around you.
One rewards doing the reps. One rewards being the host whose guests MatCap's portfolio founders most want to meet.
Points and prizes are the upside — not the reason to start. A podcast is the best excuse in the world to reach out to people you admire and actually build the relationship.
You grow your network, sharpen how you think, and leave a public trail of the people you spotted early. The leaderboard just makes it a game.
We're putting real rewards behind the hosts whose guests the portfolio most wants to meet — cash prizes, spotlights, and perks for climbing the board.
*Prize structure is being finalized. Join the waitlist and you'll be first to hear the details.
Membership isn't just a leaderboard — it's a private community of every host. Swap guest intros, trade booking tips, and meet the other people turning their networks into something real.
A WhatsApp for nodes: warm, small, and full of people playing the same game.
Grab your spot before the first season opens. We'll send you the playbook and your invite to the node community.
