FAQ

Berth places you in a small, permanent group of founders at your exact stage. One weekly rhythm. No calls, no strangers, no noise.

Berth is a mechanism, not a directory.

A crew, not a directory.

Onboard: stage, what you're building, timezone. That's it — one thing done well.

Get placed into an existing crew of 4–6 at your stage. Geography is a soft signal, never a filter.

We'll auto-place you when a same-stage crew has a seat, or when four or more people at your stage are looking. A founder can also seat you from Admin.

Monday, commit. Friday, report — visible to your crew. One commitment on Monday, one report on Friday.

1 wk commitment cycle. 4–6 people per group.

100% async, no calls. Crew Chat sits quietly alongside for the odd question. Crew Chat is closed, crew-only — never a directory.

Go quiet for a month and you're swapped out for someone actively looking. Drop to one person and your crew merges with an open seat.

[Review: landing copy says “a month”. Backend reap_inactive_members() uses 8 weeks. Pick one before launch.]

Report and Support sit side by side — reviewed case by case, never automated away. Reviewed by a human.

Report: submit a report about crew conduct. Casual language and profanity are not policed. Genuinely malicious conduct — including in Crew Chat — is reviewed case by case.

Support: send a bug, question, or complaint.

Change stage, what you're building, or timezone. You'll leave your current crew and we'll rematch you.

Four questions in. A crew for as long as you keep showing up.

Beta is open. Seats are small on purpose.

This site reflects our current beta. It will be finalized with legal review before Berth's full public launch.
