ROSTA
Signals are three short fields on your profile: what you're working on right now, what you need right now, and what kinds of conversations you're open to. They're not permanent — update them when your situation changes. Your connections see a notification on their dashboard when your signals change. Think of them as a standing message to your network about where you are and what would be useful.
There are three ways to connect on ROSTA. A warm introduction — you ask a mutual connection for an intro, and they facilitate it with context. This is the best route and the one most likely to get a yes. A direct request — you can ask any member to connect, and they accept or decline. QR — at events, scan another member's QR code to connect instantly. However the connection starts, both people have to agree to it, and you can only message someone once you are connected.
You have 3 intro credits per month. Each time you request a warm introduction, it costs one credit. Credits reset on the first of every month. You earn a credit back each time you facilitate an introduction for someone else — so the more generous you are, the more you can request.
Open Tables are small group conversations you can join alongside other members, rather than a one-to-one introduction. You will find them in the app.
Your Connector Score reflects how active you are in the network — specifically how much you give, not just take. You earn points for facilitating introductions, having conversations that go somewhere, marking real outcomes, and completing your weekly challenge. The score feeds into your badge progression. It's visible on your profile but it's not a leaderboard — it's a personal record of what you've contributed.
