BizBoost · Community
Why BizBoost belongs in the circle
The same community process as Care — nomination, verification, a published vote — pointed at member businesses, not at a private charity list.
Why members should care
If you build, BizBoost is how the circle can put light on the work. If you do not build, it is still your market: neighbours you already gather with, made easier to find.
It is not a game draw. It does not change Daily, Premium, or Select. It is community recognition with a Hub record.
The benefit
Visibility with dignity
Builders
Nomination and a chance to be a finalist when a campaign is live.
Voters
Eligible members choose who the circle should lift this round.
The wider circle
Even outside the finalists, MarketHub is the longer discovery path.
Independence
BizBoost does not rewrite game prizes or odds.
How it works
Same shape as Care. Different subject.
Members may put forward businesses that meet Hub verification — ownership, identity, legitimacy. Journal does not invent finalists.
Businesses are nominated, verified, and reviewed. Finalists are introduced so the community can vote in the published window.
Winning is never only about funding. It is confidence, recognition, exposure, and the next step that business needs. Support follows the live campaign as Hub publishes it.
Who votes
Eligible Hub members, while that campaign’s window is open.
Who is eligible
Member-owned businesses that pass Hub verification for that cycle.
After the vote
Hub publishes the record. Journal may tell the human story with consent.
Biz Boost
The draw ends. Opportunity does not have to.
