Frequently asked questions

Direct, hands-on startup help for founders anywhere, from a founder who has built two startups from scratch. Book a focused 1:1 service, or apply for the flagship 8-week The Fastlane Build cohort.

Bounded, paid 1:1 engagements for founders who need something specific solved now, like tearing down your live pitch (what's working, what's not, and exactly how to fix it). Current services, packages and pricing are on the services page.

The flagship: a 8-week cohort program that takes you from idea to a real, sellable product and an investor-ready pitch, built alongside the founder. It costs $2,000 (or 3 payments of $800) for CC26 and is by application only.

You apply through the application form in about three minutes. Every application is read personally. You get a clear yes or no. If you're accepted, you get a payment link and can book a call before you pay. You only pay after you're accepted.

No. Calls are for accepted founders and service clients. Apply first: it takes about three minutes and costs nothing. If you're accepted, you can book a call before you pay.

Depends on the package. For sessions with a calendar attached, you land on a confirmation page right after checkout and pick your time there. For others, we email you within one business day to schedule.
