THIS ISN'T FOR EVERYONE

High standards and active founders are what keep this valuable. Be honest about which column you're in.

This is for you if
  • ✓You're past $500k in revenue (or an exceptional fit on the way there).
  • ✓You'd rather build with AI than keep hiring it out.
  • ✓You'll show up and contribute, every week, not lurk.
  • ✓You want founders who push you, not a comment section.
This is not for you if
  • ×You want a cheap course to watch passively.
  • ×You're looking for done-for-you, not done-with-you.
  • ×You'll lurk and consume instead of showing up.
  • ×You're not ready to invest in real growth.

Best fit: founders over $500k in revenue. Exceptions made for exceptional fit.

Why people beat content

CONTENT IS EVERYWHERE. THE RIGHT FOUNDERS AREN'T.

You don't have an information problem. Every tactic you need is already on YouTube for free. What you don't have is a handful of founders one move ahead of you, in your corner every week, who actually show up.

That's the whole game at this level. Proximity, accountability, and the speed of never being stuck alone. That's the mastermind.

"Before this? I'd refresh Ads Manager and my CRM about 300 times a day. Now, maybe 1–2 times a day. And 100% of the time it's just to confirm what the agent said it did is actually verified."

Why the fit call

WE ONLY TAKE FOUNDERS WE CAN HELP

A mastermind is only as good as the people in it, and how much they show up. The fit call protects two things: your investment, and the standard of the group. Best fit is founders past $500k in revenue, though we make exceptions for exceptional fit. If it's not right, we'll say so and point you to where to start instead.

Before you apply

QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

How much time does it take?+
One weekly call, plus the work you'd be doing anyway, now with serious founders behind it. It's built for people who are busy building, not students with free time.
Is it worth it at my stage?+
Best fit is founders past $500k in revenue. If you're earlier but an exceptional fit, the fit call still gets you a fair look. Otherwise, start with Launch Codes ($50) and grow into it.
Do I need to be technical?+
No. The entire model is AI-built. You direct the agents, the group helps you direct them better. Non-technical founders often move fastest here.
How big is the cohort?+
Deliberately small. It only works if everyone gets airtime and stays active, so seats are capped and filled by application.
What's the investment?+
Founding cohort is $5,000, rising to $10,000 once founding seats fill. We confirm the details on the fit call so you know exactly what you're stepping into.

THE COHORT IS FILLING.

Four founders are already building inside. The founding rate holds until the seats are gone, then it doubles. If you've been waiting for the right people, this is it.
