Ad Astra · The B2B Services Marketplace

One marketplace.

Vetted business services, delivered by real people — AI does the heavy lifting behind the scenes. Businesses pay $0. Agents earn on every introduction. Providers win the work.

On every call

We still believe in humans.

Our AI exists to make people worth more, not obsolete. That's the whole operating principle.

How it works

It proves itself before it scales.

Real advisory work that pays for itself from day one — and every engagement does three things at once.

01 · It delivers

A real result.

A defensible number, on your own invoices.

02 · It proves

A trusted partner.

Doing the work is how we vet the bench.

03 · It compounds

The next opportunity.

A happy client knows a peer.

and the next engagement begins

Why it keeps growing

Growth that gets cheaper as it grows.

Referral
  • Warm, founder-led. Relationships and referrals — never cold outreach or a paid campaign.
  • The result does the convincing. A real number on a buyer's own spend doesn't need a pitch.
  • Referrals cost nothing. Every good outcome introduces the next, so the network gets cheaper to grow.
What we believe

People are the point. AI is the tool.

01 · People first

People are the asset.

Run by operators with a stake in the outcome, not retainer hours.

02 · A free commons

No house that always wins.

Vendor-funded by design — no single provider owns the room.

03 · Our own AI

A tool, never the replacement.

Built to make people worth more, not obsolete.

Who it's for

Built for the people who do the work.

Operators

Own what you build.

A stake in the outcome, not a salary that caps out.

Businesses

Stop overpaying.

Finally, someone on your side of the table.

The next generation

Refuse to be replaced.

Be handed the tool — and paid what you're worth.

There's always a commission in deals like these. We just put ours on the contract, in writing.

A freer market, run by the operators who do the work.

No retainer, no switching cost. If there’s nothing to recover, we’ll say so.
Questions

The things people ask first.

What does Ad Astra actually do?
We're the sales and marketing arm. We bring a vendor-funded marketplace of vetted partners to businesses, and we recruit and equip the operators and agents who make the introductions. The human layer that finds the savings and owns the relationship.
What is Band of Hands, and how is it related?
Band of Hands is the engine underneath us: the vendor-funded marketplace, the vetted bench of providers, and the secure AI and rails that run the work. Ad Astra is powered by Band of Hands. Band of Hands provides the platform; Ad Astra brings it to market and keeps a human on every call.
What kinds of services does this cover?
The things every business buys but rarely has the time to optimize: HR, IT, insurance, supply chain, and more on the way.
How do you make money if the business pays nothing?
The providers fund the work, the same way a commission is already built into almost any deal like this. The difference is we put ours on the contract, in writing, so there's no hidden markup.
Is this an MLM or a pyramid scheme?
No. There's no buy-in, no recruiting fees, and no inventory. Agents are paid on real business that real companies actually run, not on signing up other people.
What do I actually do as an agent?
You make one warm introduction to a business you already know. No selling, no product to learn. The team runs everything after.
Do I need expertise or a license?
No. You bring the relationship; the vetted operators and the engine bring the expertise.
How do I get paid, and do I own my clients?
It's residual: you're paid for as long as the account runs, and the relationships you open stay yours. We walk through the specific numbers with you directly.
