How it works
The full mechanics — how you join, what a run looks like, and every question we get about credits, cancellations, and pod endings.
01
Subscribe from £25/month. Credits are your currency — spend them on any pod you're accepted into. Seed £25 gives you 2 credits a month; Pod £99 gives you 8. In signup you tell us what you're working on, what you want from a pod, and your stage. That's what we use to match you — no quiz, no algorithm.
02
Every open pod lists its host, tier, length (1–6 weekly sessions), and how many seats remain. Requesting is free. Credits only reserve when the host approves you — Peer 1, Pro 2, Expert 3 per session.
03
Same five people, same slot, on Zoom. A structured agenda lands ahead of every call. Notes, actions, and a written recap are captured automatically and shared to your inbox and the pod feed.
04
When a run ends the group votes. Rejoin the next cohort, continue privately (Podkin steps out), or use remaining credits on a different pod. Nothing is on autopilot.
Who it's for
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.
Sofia, 31 · Product designer
Sofia wanted into crypto without the YouTube rabbit hole. She used two credits on a Peer pod for total beginners, then three on an Expert clinic with a protocol founder. Two runs in a month on the Pod plan.
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.
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.
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.
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.
