Mesh Core, Mesh Mover, Mesh Guru...

Hello!

Not long to go to the launch. We have over 250 confirmations from a wide range of people: Founding Members, journalists, Special Guests and friends. Kay and I are really excited!

Following the launch, the select 150 Founding Members will be given access to the beta phase of the Mesh website. I don't want to go into too much detail about what you will see on the beta phase because that information is only privy to the selected Founding Members and it's all part of the Mesh secret! However, there will be three types of status:

Mesh Core - You are a business professional with a creative second life. In your creative second life, you are either an active, aspirer or associator. An active might be looking for someone to collaborate with; an aspirer might be looking for advice or inspiration from a fellow active; and an associator might want to meet dynamic people or shout about a creative friend.

Mesh Mover - You were a full time business professional but now have made the leap to a more creative job that fulfills your passions. Perhaps you still work in the City on a consultancy basis to supplement your income.

Mesh Guru - This applies to full time creatives. In return for business advice, Mesh Gurus can use their skills to mentor Mesh Cores or Mesh Movers and manage interesting new projects on the Mesh website.
