Built for communities that already live on WhatsApp
Paid business networks, founder communities and accelerators all use the same private request flow. What changes is who gets asked and which plan fits.
Business networks
Keep referrals inside the network members pay for. Members ask privately for suppliers and services, and the right member is asked without a group post.

Founders ask for help without posting in front of everyone. Milvao asks one founder who can help, and busy founders can PAUSE offers whenever they need.

What actually changes between them
The flow and the privacy rules are identical. These are the real differences.
| Business networks | Founder communities | Accelerators | Incubators | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Typical request | A supplier, a CA, office space | A developer, a lawyer, advice from someone who has done it | A partner, a mentor, an alumnus with a specific track record | |
| Who is usually asked | Members who sell that service | Founders with that skill | Mentors and alumni | |
| Groups you link | The main group and each chapter | The main group, maybe topic groups | Cohort, mentors and alumni | |
| What members worry about | Being spammed with leads | Asking in front of peers | Mentor time being wasted | |
| Plan that usually fits | Starter or Growth | Starter | Starter or Growth |
