What would you like to explore?

Climate, food, health, education, democracy, science… Choose the subjects that interest you, or the ones you know little about.

The world starts close to home.

The map is global. For your Intros, we first look for encounters within reach of home.

Keeping travel down is part of the planning: nearby encounters and rail first, depending on connections and availability.

Who would you like to meet?

Start your Intros

Two minutes of questions.

Before you start.

Who can take part?

Intros cover one person or a team of up to ten. You tell us who will join each encounter.

How are people selected?

The Intros team starts with your context and questions to propose relevant changemakers. We check their availability and prepare the encounter with you.

In person or online?

Both are possible. The format depends on your project, location and availability. Travel, accommodation and meals are not included and remain your responsibility.

How Intros pays changemakers.

Each encounter is divided into three equal shares: the fixer, the host organisation and CHNGMKR. Pricing follows one rate card, according to the person you meet.

View the rate card
What happens after the form?

The Intros team gets back to you within 48 hours to discuss your wishes. We then prepare the encounters with the people involved. If you accept the proposal, we send you the terms and deposit invoice. The form does not trigger a payment.
