A FEW THINGS TO KNOW
Before we
say hello.
Do investors need another inbox?
No. The planned investor experience delivers relevant founder insights and introduction opportunities straight to your mobile via iMessage / SMS. Reply YES to request access, or NO to pass. The founder decides the scope and expiry before any private Momentum or chat opens. Founder–investor conversations happen inside new; texts are only between you and new. iMessage / SMS opt-in and delivery preferences will be set during investor onboarding; joining this waitlist signs you up for launch emails only.
Who is the Sprout?
That’s new—our AI connector, given a familiar face. The lilac Sprout represents curiosity, progress and the relationships that help ideas grow. You’ll meet the agent in the app when early access opens.
Who is new for?
Founders building early-stage companies and investors looking to discover relevant founders through ranked texts. The waitlist has a separate path for each.
What happens after I join?
We’ll save your email and whether you’re joining as a founder or investor. You’ll hear from new, an ideas by Dre company when early access is ready. Joining does not guarantee an invitation or an investment.
Are founder updates public?
No. A founder’s full Momentum and meter are private to them. Replying YES requests access; only founder approval unlocks selected Momentum and a 1:1 in-app chat for a limited time. Founders can revoke access at any time. There is no follow feature or investor feed.
What can founders share?
The planned Momentum experience supports text, video, voice notes and photos—so founders can share progress in the format that fits the story.
When will the app launch?
new is in development for iOS and Android. We haven’t announced a launch date. Join the waitlist to hear when early access opens.
