Everyone else inherits their network.
We build ours on purpose.
Let's Circle Black is a private community where Black professionals share what it's really like inside companies, anonymously and honestly, so the next one of us never signs an offer blind.
The intel everyone else gets for free
Some people are born into networks that hand them career intelligence for free. A roommate who became the VP. An uncle who invested early. A family friend who says don't take that job, trust me. Most of us weren't born into those rooms, so we learn the unwritten rules the hard way and pay for information other people inherit.
So we built the room ourselves.
Inside The Circle, members trade answers to the question we all ask before every offer: how is it there, really? Not the careers page version. The version you'd only tell a friend.
What the community knows so far
Every receipt feeds the Black Experience Index, our rating of what it's like to be Black at work, measured across seven dimensions that careers pages never mention.
Industry-level insights are public. Company-level receipts and the members behind them are inside.
What membership gets you
Read the receipts
Company-by-company ratings and written receipts from Black professionals who were actually there, across all seven BEI dimensions.
Ask the person who lived it
See a receipt from a company you're considering? Message the member behind it, anonymously. Real answers from someone who sat where you're about to sit.
Bring your own receipts
Share your experience on your terms. Every receipt makes the next member's decision sharper, the same way someone's receipt will sharpen yours.
Watch the question get answered
Every receipt has a real person behind it, and members can reach them without either side revealing who they are. It looks like this:
Built for the only one in the room
We know why you hesitate. When you're one of a handful of Black people at your company, “anonymous” has to actually mean something. Here's what it means here:
Your identity is never attached to a receipt, not in the product and not in the database.
Companies cannot look up who said what. There is no company-facing directory.
Receipts display level bands and functions, not titles and start dates. If a detail could identify you, we don't show it.
Every message in The Circle uses a handle, never your name. Choosing to reveal who you are to a specific member is a control we're building next.
Process of elimination doesn't work if there's nothing to eliminate.
Made by one of us, for the rest of us
I built Let's Circle Black after a decade-plus in corporate, at big-name firms in banking, consulting, and tech, spending every job search asking friends the same quiet question: how is it there for you? When I knew, I positioned myself differently. When I didn't, I paid for it.
Not everyone has someone to call. Now you do.
