Foothold
Stop losing half your new members in week one.
Your paid Slack community onboards every new member exactly the same way: a welcome post, a channel list, and a silent lurker by day 30. Foothold runs a three-touch flow on every join — a day-0 DM, a day-3 nudge, a day-7 scorecard — so you keep the seats you're already paying to fill.
Free 14-day trial when we launch. No credit card required.
Why Foothold
- Day-0 DM that actually gets read. New members get a personalised 3-step checklist (introduce yourself, pick your goals, subscribe to 2 channels) the moment they join — no more relying on volunteer ambassadors who forget.
- Day-3 nudge, targeted by stated goal. If the checklist is still incomplete, we ping the member with the one step that matters most for what they said they wanted. No generic "welcome again 👋" spam.
- Day-7 scorecard for operators. Every Monday you get a one-page email: who activated, who stalled, who to personally follow up with. A number you can put in your MRR report, not a vibe.
How it works
- Install in 30 seconds. One-click Slack OAuth, no admin review queue. We install inside your workspace, not the Slack Marketplace.
- Set 3 channels and 1 welcome message. That's your entire setup. You can customise later.
- Watch week-one retention climb. We snapshot your 30-day activation baseline on install, then show you the before/after at day 30.

Common questions
Do I need to be on Slack Enterprise Grid?
No. Any paid Slack workspace works — Pro, Business+, or Enterprise Grid. We don't need admin consent at the org level.
Can new members opt out?
Yes. Every DM has a one-click "stop messaging me" link. We stop, and we tell you who opted out so you can follow up personally if it matters.
Will this work for my Discord community?
Not yet. We're focused on paid Slack first because that's where our ICP — operators of paid communities doing $10k–80k MRR — actually runs their programs. Join the waitlist anyway and tell us; we'll email when Discord is ready.
How much does it cost to pilot?
Nothing for 14 days, no credit card. If you churn after the trial you owe us zero. We bet our pricing on the numbers you see in the day-30 before/after — if we didn't move them, we didn't earn it.
