01Requirements

For founders with product-market fitwho are growing right now.

  • You are a founder or co-founder
  • You have proven product-market fit
  • You are in an active growth phase
  • You take part personally

Meeting the criteria does not guarantee a place; I review every application personally. A rejection says nothing about the quality of your company, and buying the Foundation directly is always possible.

03FAQ

Frequently asked questions about the program

What does the program cost me?

Nothing. You invest about 90 minutes: around 60 for the questionnaire and 30 for the debrief. I take care of the synthesis in between.

Do I have to book anything afterwards?

No. Taking part does not commit you to anything. If you want to bring your team in afterwards, the Blueprint is the next step, but that is your call.

What is the difference from the regular Foundation?

There is none. Questionnaire, personal synthesis, debrief and the Company Operating System V1 as a document and AI artifact are identical. The only difference is how you get there: application instead of purchase.

What happens to my information?

I only use it to review your application and contact you. The form runs on Tally. You can find everything else in the privacy policy (in German).
