The offer — founding wave
Your posts should never launch to silence.
Backchannel is an invite-only room of AI builders who make sure each other's LinkedIn posts get real engagement in the first hour — plus the tooling to see who engages and to keep what you learn. Membership is free. Seats are not unlimited.
The Pod
$99/moWhen you post, members in your niche are nudged to show up in the first hour — real comments from real builders, while the algorithm is deciding whether anyone sees you.
Engagement Radar
$49/moWho actually engaged with your posts — reactions, comments, patterns over time — gathered quietly while you browse, reported back in one place.
Contact Vault
$29/moTag the people who matter, capture engagers as prospects, export everything WITH your tags and engagement history attached — the part LinkedIn's own export throws away.
Runs on your machine
—A private browser extension on your own logged-in session. No credentials leave your computer, nothing acts without your click.
The Room
—The Slack itself: drafts before you post, numbers compared honestly, builders who answer. Free forever for active members. Invite-only forever.
“Elsewhere” is what tools selling one of these pieces on its own actually charge today. We're not better because we're cheaper; we're free because the room only works when the right people are in it.
You post
LinkedIn shows new posts to a small first audience and decides from their reaction whether anyone else ever sees it.
The room shows up
Members in your niche are nudged inside that first hour. Each one engages by hand, on their own account, in their own words.
The algorithm notices
Early, relevant, same-niche engagement is the one signal the 2026 feed still rewards. Generic pods died; a small room of real peers didn't.
No bots. No scheduled blasts. Every action is a member's own click on their own account — that line is the whole point.
25 seats. Then the door closes until the next wave.
A pod only works when the ratio of active members stays high, so we grow in waves: open a handful of seats, absorb them, open again. That isn't marketing scarcity — it's how the mechanism survives. Seats stay free for life while you're active in the pod; lurk for months and your seat goes to the waitlist.
The same extension carries our MCP server: drive your LinkedIn from Claude — reading, searching, messaging, engagement — with every write approved by you. Free members see it greyed out. Members who unlock it stop doing the grunt work by hand.
The founding rate exists because early members trade feedback, beta testing and honest testimonials for it. It will never be offered again, and prices only move up — anything you lock, you keep.
The honest answer: a pod is worthless with three people in it and priceless with thirty active ones. Founding members are how it gets to thirty — that's the trade, and it's why the door is gated rather than priced.
I won't promise you engagement numbers yet — I'll earn the right to make that promise when the room is big enough to keep it. What I will promise, personally: while the founding wave is open I read every member's posts, respond to everything, and treat your first weeks here as my job.
