I want to explore the work first.
See what we are trying in BenBiz and the ideas we are working on. If something interests you, we can start the conversation there.
Explore the projectsLet’s meet
Let’s start with a hello.
You may have an idea, a problem you want to solve or a skill you would like to share. You may still be figuring it out. Let’s hear what is on your mind and see where we could begin together.
You don’t need to be a member to send a first message.
Start wherever feels right
How would you like to begin?
There is no need to decide straight away. Explore our work, write to us or meet people in the app.
I want to share what is on my mind.
You may be looking for space for a workshop, hoping to learn a skill or wanting to share what you know. Tell us in a few sentences.

Go to the member networkBenBiz member network · In pilot use
Let’s make it easier to find one another.
Two people can live in the same city and share an interest without knowing about each other. The member network in the app is a starting point for meeting people with whom you might find common ground.
Share as much as you choose
You can say what you do, what you would like to learn or how you could help. Adding a photo is optional.
Start with shared interests
Discover visible members by country, city, interests or skills, and begin with something you would like to discuss together.
You choose your visibility
Only signed-in BenBiz members can see your profile, within the visibility settings you choose. Your email and phone number are not published on the profile card.
About profiles and contact
Sharing your interests and experience helps people get to know you and find common ground. Every field is optional; you decide who can see what.
- A short personal story
- Skills and interests
- What you want to do or learn
- How you could contribute
- How you discovered BenBiz
- Circle and role details you choose to share
In the contact route being tested in the pilot, you explain why you would like to connect through a short request. An in-app conversation opens when the other person accepts; requests can also be declined or people blocked. Personal profiles and Solidarity Circles stay separate: joining a circle does not expose your personal contact details.
Who do I speak with about the work?
We can start with a message. As the subject becomes clearer, you can speak with the person or circle responsible for that work. Each responsibility has its own scope.
First contact
Reads your message, tries to understand the subject and looks for a suitable next step.
General coordination
Looks after the connections between different projects and the shared principles.
Project or circle responsibility
Explains the needs, current situation and terms of working together on that project.
Maker, educator, craftsperson or contributor
Describes their own work, knowledge and working conditions in their own words.
Responsibility describes the scope of the work someone has taken on. It does not place them above others. When the work or timeframe changes, the responsibility is discussed again.
From meeting to shared work
From common ground to one small task.
One person knows how to repair things, another can share books and someone else has space in the neighbourhood. Getting to know one another could bring together what is needed for a small reading corner.
Together, we discuss the task, who will do what and any agreed return for the work. A new Solidarity Circle could also begin around a shared need like this.
An introduction does not create membership or a role. Any shared work and its terms are agreed through a conversation together.
Write to us without joining
We’d like to hear from you.
Your name, email address, subject and a few sentences are enough. Tell us about a need, an idea or a skill you would like to share.

- If there is work that connects with your interest or need, we discuss the next step by email.
