A live session for builders, founders, and operators to demo what they're making — product, funnel, campaign, or prototype — and get direct feedback from the people who fund and build mission-driven companies.

Demoing
communicate.app
Communicate is a church communications calendar. Campaigns, channels, assignments, and status live in one plan instead of a spreadsheet, so a comms team can see every message the week it ships.
Parable
Parable turns a church's Planning Center data into answers their staff can actually use. Today it's 50+ churches and ~750K people tracked, with growth coming almost entirely from word of mouth.
Giving feedback
The problem
Most feedback builders receive is too polite, too late, or too generic to change anything. By the time the real objection surfaces, the moment is gone.
Builder Sessions compresses that. You watch real work demoed live — product, funnel, campaign, or prototype — while a room full of people who have built, funded, and sold companies reacts in the moment. The panel has no reason to flatter anyone, so the input is specific and usable.
Hand-selected builders. We invite two people with something real to show: a product, a campaign, a funnel, a prototype, or a work-in-progress worth pressure-testing.
Show the work. Each person shares what they're building and the one question they need answered. Roughly 15 minutes each, no pitch deck required.
Direct feedback. Investors, operators, and founders in the room react on camera. The audience weighs in through chat and Q&A while the feedback is still useful.
Follow the thread. Good sessions turn into intros, customer conversations, and sometimes investor interest. We make the connections easy after the call.
60 minutes · Free for founders and attendees
The panel changes each session, but it's always drawn from the Stackhouse community: LPs who invest in faith tech companies, founders who've built and sold in this market, and operators running growth, product, and sales inside companies like these.
Some of the people on the call write checks. All of them have shipped something. You will hear feedback rooted in the church and nonprofit market specifically, because generic startup advice breaks down fast in this space.
Attendees see how experienced investors and operators evaluate early companies in real time. If you're building something yourself, it's a preview of the questions you'll face. Bring your questions to the chat; the panel takes them.
Building for churches, nonprofits, and mission-driven markets. You need something concrete to show: a product, a funnel, a campaign, or a prototype. Pre-revenue is fine. Idea-stage with slides is too early, and we'll tell you that kindly and invite you back when there's something to demo.

For builders
Every session needs two people willing to show real work and take real feedback. It might be a product, a marketing funnel, a campaign, or something else you're building.
