Where it comes from
Introholic grew out of the Mr. 6 Foundation, a non-profit society founded in Vancouver in 2026. The Foundation exists to connect people that distance keeps apart: the founder in a city no fund visits, the investor two continents away who would have written the cheque, the builder solving the same problem in another language.
Its founder, Mr. 6, is a writer, software engineer and entrepreneur who has spent almost thirty years around technology and startups. From that vantage point one thing kept showing up: a remarkable number of people are one introduction away from a different life, and never get it. The reason is rarely merit. Usually nobody thought to make the intro.
"What are we missing?" The Foundation asks it of the world. Introholic asks it of everyone's address book.
The eagerness to connect
The Foundation makes connections deliberately, a cohort at a time. But the most powerful connectors in the world aren't institutions. They're ordinary people who can't help themselves: the friend who says "you two have to meet," then follows through.
We wondered what would happen if that habit were easy for everyone. If introducing two good people took a minute. If both sides were always asked first, so nobody felt used. And if every intro carried a gentle invitation to pass the kindness on.
From social experiment to startup
Introholic started as that experiment: can a small good deed between people start a chain that comes back around? We believe the answer is yes, and we're now building it as a startup to find out at a scale no non-profit programme could reach.
The spirit of the experiment hasn't changed:
- Consent first. Every introduction asks both people privately. Nothing is shared until both say yes, and saying no stays private.
- Give before you ask. The product is built around making intros for others. What comes back is a result, not a transaction.
- People, not leads. An intro here is a favour from someone who knows you, never a cold pitch.
Get involved
The easiest way to join the experiment is to make one introduction this week. Think of two people you know who should meet, and start here. To learn more about the Foundation's wider work connecting startups, investors and builders across markets, visit mr6.foundation.
