A few quick reasons investors are taking a closer look at this offering.
Making everyday challenges easier to solve
Finding the right help should not mean spending days asking around. 242Konnect connects individuals and businesses with service providers for everyday needs and professional projects.
Giving local talent a place to be seen
Skilled people do not always have the visibility or professional network to reach new customers, especially those working independently or in the informal economy. 242Konnect gives providers a place to present their skills and services so customers can discover what they offer.
Early activity in two local markets
We have registered 200+ providers across Utah and the Republic of Congo and coordinated 20 early service transactions totaling $27,000 during August–September 2026. This represents service volume, not platform revenue.

The opportunity
What's our story
1
The skills exist. Finding the right help is harder than it should be.
When a car breaks down, an appliance stops working or a business needs professional help, finding the right person can mean several calls, unanswered messages and uncertain availability. Customers need someone who fits their needs, budget and schedule.
Meanwhile, skilled professionals can struggle to reach customers beyond their personal networks. Through our field research in Utah and the Republic of Congo, we explored both sides of this challenge. That work shaped 242Konnect: helping customers find local expertise and helping professionals make their skills visible.
2
Our Solution
242Konnect brings everyday services and professional expertise into one digital marketplace. Individuals and businesses can discover providers, submit requests, discuss their needs and budgets, and arrange services. Providers can showcase their skills and experience, making their work visible beyond their personal networks. This gives customers more options to explore and professionals another way to reach potential clients.
Beyond finding a provider, we are developing booking and management tools to help businesses coordinate providers and service requests across teams and locations. Starting in Utah County, USA, and Pointe-Noire, Republic of Congo, our goal is to make it simpler to find the right help and organize the work that follows.

Our Progress
We began with four months of field research in Utah and the Republic of Congo. We have since registered 150+ service providers in Congo and 50+ in Utah, while our website has received 3,000+ visitors.
During August–September 2026, we coordinated 20 early service transactions totaling $27,000 in service volume: $22,000 in Utah and $5,000 in Congo. These requests were coordinated through direct contact and phone calls while we tested and improved the platform. This is service volume, not company revenue; we have not yet charged platform commissions.

The Opportunity
242Konnect starts in Utah County, USA, and Pointe-Noire, Republic of Congo, serving households that need local help, professionals seeking new customers, and businesses with recurring service needs.
Our opportunity is to turn occasional service requests into lasting customer-provider relationships. We will first focus on reliable service delivery and repeat bookings in these two markets, then expand into additional cities as demand and sustainable operating costs support growth.
5
How We’re Different
242Konnect combines a marketplace covering multiple service categories with local provider recruitment in Utah County and Pointe-Noire. We work with independent professionals and service businesses, including providers whose skills and experience are not easily visible online.
Our field research and early service coordination help us understand both customer needs and provider challenges. As we improve the platform, we plan to add identity, credential and reference checks, alongside provider interviews that showcase their work and help customers make informed choices

What Comes Next
Our next step is to complete product testing, improve the booking experience and introduce commissions on completed services. We will focus on reliable delivery and repeat use in Utah County and Pointe-Noire before expanding further. Follow 242Konnect for updates on our product, local provider network and launch progress.

What does Crowdbuilding mean?
Crowdbuilding is the stage where a company is building an audience, sharing updates, and gathering interest before opening reservations or an investment offering.
Can I invest in this company yet?
Not during Crowdbuilding. You can follow the company now and be notified if it later begins accepting reservations or opens an investment offering.
What happens when I follow a company?
Following lets you keep up with company updates and receive notifications about important changes, including if the company begins accepting reservations.
What are reservations?
Reservations let people indicate interest in a potential future offering before investing is available. They help founders understand demand before going live.
Are reservations binding?
No. A reservation is a non-binding indication of interest, not a commitment to invest. No payment is collected, and the company is also not required to proceed with an offering. If the company later goes live, you can review the final terms and decide whether to invest.
When does a company become open for investment?
A company becomes investable only after it launches an active securities offering and the required offering materials are available.
What is Regulation Crowdfunding?
Regulation Crowdfunding, or Reg CF, is a U.S. securities exemption that allows eligible companies to raise capital online from both accredited and non-accredited investors through a registered intermediary.
Does a reservation guarantee my investment once the company goes live?
No. A reservation is only a non-binding indication of interest. It does not guarantee that you will be able to invest or that any particular amount will be available to you if the company later opens an offering.
What happens if the company goes live?
You’ll be notified that the offering is live and prompted to complete your investment. At that point, you can review the final offering details, enter your payment information, sign the required documents, and submit your investment.
How much can I invest?
Your investment amount may be subject to Regulation Crowdfunding investment limits. EquityCF will guide you through the applicable limit during the investment process.
Can I cancel my investment?
Yes. In a Regulation Crowdfunding offering, you may generally cancel an investment commitment for any reason until 48 hours before the offering deadline or applicable closing deadline. If the company makes a material change to the offering, you must be given an opportunity to reconfirm your commitment.
What happens if the minimum raise is not met?
If the offering does not meet its required minimum by the deadline, the offering will not close and committed funds will be returned according to the offering terms.
Where can I review the offering documents?
The filed Form C, financial statements, subscription agreement, and any applicable amendments are available in the Offering Documents section above.
When will I receive my securities?
If the offering closes successfully and your investment is completed, the securities will be issued in accordance with the offering terms and reflected through the issuer’s recordkeeping or transfer-agent process. The timing and form of ownership can vary depending on the security being offered.
What return can I expect on my investment?
There is no guaranteed return. Startup and private-company investments are risky and illiquid, and you could lose some or all of your investment. Review the company, offering terms, risk factors, and your own financial situation before investing.
What happens after the offering closes?
If the offering meets its closing conditions, committed funds are released to the issuer and the securities are issued to investors. After closing, the company remains responsible for investor communications and any ongoing reporting obligations that apply.
What happens if the company changes the offering?
If there is a material change to the offering terms or other material information, investors with existing commitments must be notified and asked to reconfirm. If you do not reconfirm within the required period, your investment commitment will be canceled.
What happens if the offering reaches its maximum?
Once the maximum offering amount is reached, additional investments may no longer be accepted. If the offering is oversubscribed, any allocation method will be handled according to the terms disclosed in the offering materials.
Where is my money held before the offering closes?
Investor funds are held by a qualified third party for the benefit of investors until the offering closes or the funds are otherwise required to be returned. The issuer does not receive those funds simply because you submit an investment commitment.
No money or other consideration is being solicited or accepted. No offer to buy securities can be accepted and no purchase price can be received until a Form C is filed and the offering is conducted through the intermediary’s platform. Any indication of interest is non-binding and involves no obligation or commitment of any kind.
