Join the waitlist
Become a founding member
Whether it is for you, or for a parent you have started to worry about.
We are building a small first group of members, and keeping it small on purpose. Add your name and you will be first in line when the pilot opens.
Founding members are the people who join the pilot when it opens. The waitlist is how you get the invitation — it is not the same thing, and it commits you to nothing.
No credit card. Nothing to pay yet. It takes a minute.
What TrustCircle does
TrustCircle is the digital tool we are building. It connects your accounts and the people you trust in one place, so that unusual activity gets noticed early — by you, and by the people you have chosen.
You connect your accounts through the secure system Australian banks use for sharing data. You never give us your banking passwords, and we never see them.
It is read-only. TrustCircle lets you see your money. It cannot move it, and neither can we.
You decide what counts as unusual, who gets notified, and who is in your support network. Nobody joins unless you invite them.
How this works, and why it matters →
Join the movement
Elder financial abuse is a social problem, not a private misfortune. Social problems get solved the same way every time: enough people decide the situation is unacceptable, and then they act.
Some of the people who need this most will never ask for it. They may not know anything is wrong. They may know, and be ashamed. They may be protecting the person taking from them.
They cannot start this.
We can.
Every safeguard we now take for granted — seatbelts, smoke alarms — had a beginning. When enough people go first, it becomes part of what you do every day. This is how a safeguard becomes normal.
Founding members are the people who make a financial safety network for families ordinary. Not by donating — by using it, paying for it, and telling us where it falls short. And most importantly, voting with your wallet to say that society needs this.
When we tell banks and lawmakers that older Australians want this, it is an opinion. When enough people put their names to it, it is not.
You are not buying a subscription. You are putting your name to the idea that our community takes financial safety seriously, and that the people who cannot ask for protection should have it anyway.
Your money cannot become somebody's windfall
Our constitution caps what shareholders can take out of this business. In any year, dividends cannot exceed what we spent delivering the work to the people it is for — and that spending has to be at least half of the previous year's profit after tax.
Our social purpose is locked harder still: changing it requires the unanimous agreement of every shareholder — not a majority, every single one.
You are not funding a startup that can be sold out from under you.
What founding members get
When the pilot opens and you join it, founding members get:
- Founding member status, permanently. However large this gets, you were one of the first.
- A say in what gets built. The first group is small enough that we read every message, and small enough to change course because of one.
- First access when the pilot opens, before anyone else.
- Your price protected. If we ever raise the price, founding members keep the old one for twelve months — and we will tell you why.
Founding members shape this directly with us. We will tell you how many founding members there are, what your subscriptions paid for, and what we learned along the way. If this works, you were the reason — and whatever happens, you will know where your money went.
We are not going to pretend this is a bargain
We would rather be straight with you about what you would be joining.
The pilot will be rough in places. Things will change, some will not work the way you expect, and you will be the one telling us about it. When it opens there will be a price, and you would be paying for something still being built.
We charge for it because a safety net that runs out of money protects nobody — and because financial safety should be affordable and accessible for everyone, which only works if the business covers its costs.
That is the deal, and we would rather you heard it from us. If that sounds like something worth being part of, we would like you with us.
Reserve your spot
Joining the waitlist costs nothing and commits you to nothing. We will be in touch when the pilot is ready.
What happens next
We will email you to confirm you are on the list. We will not contact you again until the pilot is ready to open, and we will never pass your details to anyone else.
