What if you could support your members, cohorts or portfolio companies with the full potential of your ecosystem?
Helpbuild empowers you to leverage your networks to boost what you are invested in.
How it works
The simple yet powerful engine that powers great ecosystems
Create Your Hub
Describe your hub
Make your invitation video
Decide who can join e.g. just your members or the public.
Invite Your Members to Join and Create Their Projects
With a simple share link, they can join your hub and onboard themselves – inviting their own networks to their project and managing what they need and making direct requests to their own network and helpers.
Invite your ecosystem to help your hub
With a simple share link, all your network willing to help your members projects succeed can sign up. These could be your team, the rest of your organisations, your professional network.
Respond to Requests that Bubble up from Member Projects.
Helpbuild manages all the alerts and escalations, leaving you to do what you do best – respond to what they need (not what you think they need!)
Your hub will only get the requests for help that the project networks cannot help with.
Whatever the problem, community is the answer

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I control who joins my hub?
‘Protected’ status – this sets the entire hub to protected – meaning only projects invited can join and only member projects can see other hub projects.
Access Token – you set this when you create the hub and only share it with the projects you want to invite.
Manual Approval – you have to approve all projects that apply to join your hub.
Does a hub mean more work for its organiser?
No.
Hub setup is a 5-10 minute job.
Projects onboard themselves, hub helpers too – these take less than 5 minutes apiece!
Whenever a project needs help, the Helpbuild platform handles all the work of identifying and notifying helpers and only hub helpers signed up for those specific help areas are notified.
Hubs are basically about reacting to emerging needs.
But when you want to do more, we offer data insights to show you which projects in your hub need intervention, what areas you (as the hub) probably need to build capacity up in.
Do we have to pay our hub helpers
Depends.
Hub helpers who already work for you are already being paid by your organisation. Helpbuild gives them exceptionally impactful work to do – because it is what your hub projects are requesting.
Some of your hub helpers can charge for their help – this will be between them and the projects – but this is outside the platform.
Hub helpers – like all helpers – get rewarded in tokens for the help they give. Some of that is from your hub, but most is from the projects they will help on. You should regularly do nice things that recognise the help they give – especially if it’s unpaid.
How do we invite our network to help our projects
Super easy!
You create a share link and send it to the places where your potential helpers are.
It could be via email or posting into a Slack channel.
You can create multiple share links to create some segmentation, so you can tell where helpers are joining from.
Do we have to pay for the tokens that projects use?
No.
You can provide some free tokens from your hub wallet to their project wallet to get started, but once those run out, it is up to them to keep it topped up.
Occasionally you will be able to ‘gift’ them tokens from hub wallet too.
