PulseChecks (Beta)

Last updated: January 14, 2026

PulseChecks are a new, low-effort way to explore potential solutions or partners in the Halo network—without proposals, commitments, or lengthy back-and-forth.

If you're looking for solutions or experts beyond what you see in Discover—but you're not yet ready for a full partnering request—PulseChecks can be a great option to get a sense of which innovators and solutions might be a fit for your need.

PulseChecks let you share a short description of your need and see which innovators raise their hand. You stay in control of who you contact.


Why use PulseChecks?

PulseChecks are designed to make early discovery frictionless.

  • No proposals to review

  • No obligation to follow up

  • No commitment from either side

It’s a fast way to understand who might be relevant before investing time in deeper conversations.

How PulseChecks work

1. Post your PulseCheck
Navigate to Discover and click Post a free PulseCheck.
Share a brief (2–3 sentence) description of the solution or partner you’re looking for. You may optionally select relevant expertise areas and preferred solution readiness.
You do not need to share funding details, detailed requirements, or timelines.

2. We broadcast it
Your PulseCheck is shared with innovators who may be relevant.

3. Review interested profiles
While PulseChecks are in beta, you’ll receive profiles of interested innovators directly via email.

4. Choose who to contact
Message only the innovators you’re interested in. There’s no obligation to respond or move forward.

NOTE: When posting a PulseCheck you can choose to hide your company name, but anonymous requests typically receive 30–40% fewer responses, as innovators have less context about the opportunity.

What to expect

  • You’ll receive profiles only, not proposals

  • No identifying funding, requirements, or timelines are needed

  • There is zero commitment from either side

Pulse Checks are meant to be quick, flexible, and optional.
