Podkin

How it works

Five people. One hour. Every week.

One pod is open now: two Saturday sessions, five seats, £25 one-off. Runs last up to six weeks. Take a seat and off you go.

  1. 01

    Tell us what you want to get better at

    One line is enough. We match you by hand from what you tell us and what the host is looking for — no quiz, no algorithm.

  2. 02

    Take a seat in an open pod

    Every open pod lists its host, tier, length, and seats remaining. Pod 01 is open now — a £25 one-off pass covering both sessions.

  3. 03

    Meet weekly for 60 minutes

    Five members and one host, same slot, on Zoom. Agendas arrive ahead of every call. Notes, actions, and a recap are captured automatically and shared to your inbox and the pod feed.

  4. 04

    At the end: keep, continue, or switch

    Rejoin the next cohort, continue privately with no Podkin fee, or take a seat in another pod. Nothing is on autopilot.

Who it's for

Five members and one host — six different reasons.

Illustrative examples of how members use Podkin.

AT

Alex, 27 · fintech analyst

Alex wanted senior-operator exposure his day job wouldn't give him. He joined a six-week Pro pod on early-stage GTM run by a former COO. By week three he was bringing his own board deck for feedback. He's stayed on with the same four for another run — privately, no Podkin fee.

SB

Sofia, 31 · product designer

Sofia wanted into crypto without the YouTube rabbit hole. She started with a Peer pod for total beginners, then sat in on an Expert clinic with a protocol founder. Two runs, one month.

PK

Priya, 34 · engineering manager

Priya was planning six months in South America. She joined a Peer pod of four other remote-working travellers and one host who'd done the loop twice. Practical, specific, and cheaper than a single coaching hour.

DW

Dan, 29 · product manager

Dan wanted to build side projects that shipped, not sit through more tutorials. His Pro pod worked in public — five projects, weekly demos, honest feedback. Two of them are still running as private pods a year later.

MO

Marcus, 41 · small-scale developer

Marcus was pivoting from property into product. He used a single Expert clinic to pressure-test his transition story with a PM director, then a longer Pro pod to actually rebuild his portfolio. Job offer in month four.

JH

Jenny, 56 · host

30 years on trading floors, no natural way to sell an hour of that. Jenny hosts a weekly Expert pod on macro positioning for five members. She earns more per hour than her old bank paid, and doesn't chase clients.

Questions

Every question we get.

Pod 01 is a £25 one-off pass covering both sessions, paid at checkout. Nothing recurring, nothing to cancel. Future pods will be priced on their own page before you commit.

Three options. Rejoin — the host runs another cohort and you get first refusal on a seat. Continue privately — the five of you keep meeting on your own, no Podkin fee. Or start another — take a seat in any other open pod.

Nothing is charged. Requesting a seat is free, and you're only ever charged for a seat you've been given. If a host passes, we surface similar open pods (same category, adjacent tier or length) so you don't lose momentum.

A pod needs a minimum number of members to run. If it doesn't reach that by the start time, the session doesn't run and you're not out of pocket — we refund the pass or move you to the next cohort, your choice.

By hand, from what you tell us on signup and what the host is looking for. No algorithm. If the next cohort is full, you wait for the one after — usually a couple of weeks.

Only with consent from everyone in the room. When they are, you get the recording, transcript, and AI summary — yours forever, even if you cancel.

Yes — private pods use the same structure, agenda, and tools. Bring four people, pick a slot, we handle the rest.

Anyone with lived expertise can apply. Hosts set their tier, session count, and weekly slot. Podkin fills the seats, handles recaps, and pays out 70% of the session fee weekly.
