FROM PROGRESS TO POSSIBILITY

## A little context. _A better connection._

### Start a conversation.

Investors reply YES to request a closer look. Founders approve selected Momentum and a time-limited view, then both sides chat in new.

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.
