Part oneWhy this existsWhat gets in the way, and how we take it off you
01The problem

You know your thing.
Getting it out there is a second job.

Most people stop here. Not because the work is bad, but because three things get in the way.

ProblemNo time to make it.

Posts, videos and pages are a full-time job on top of your real one.

1
We make it.

One conversation a month becomes a month of content.

ProblemToo many tools and decisions.

Editing apps, AI prompts, schedules. Weeks go into deciding, not shipping.

2
You approve.

Tap yes once a week. Nothing to learn.

ProblemNobody sees it.

Posting into silence, week after week, until you stop.

3
We amplify it.

You publish it. Our network and channels amplify it.

The usual fixAn agency, an editor, a coach or an acceleratorThousands a month, or a share of your company. Only 1 to 2% get in.
HereAll of it, done for youFrom $99 a month. Non-equity. Extremely affordable, on purpose.

For anyone with something to offer. No company needed.FreelancersCreatorsConsultantsSolo foundersExpertsLeaders

02What we hand you

Videos, posts and pages, every week.
Ready for your yes.

Recorded with you, made in your voice. Done with you, or done for you.

03How it works

We make it. You say yes. It goes out.
Then repeat, every week.

Two numbers decide it: how much goes out, and how many people see it. We take care of both.

Our investor community

Investors in our community, when it grows big enough. They decide on their own.

Accelerators and investors are separate organisations with their own criteria. Names are shown for reference and do not mean a partnership. We do not promise admission or funding. This is not investment advice.

14Questions

Still deciding? Everything else is here.

What is this, in one sentence?

We make it, you approve and publish, we amplify it. One conversation a month becomes your videos, posts and page.

When does it start? Do I wait for a group?

Any day. There is no fixed start date and no waiting list, so nobody falls behind. Your first mentor session is in the week you join.

Do I need a company? I freelance, consult or create.

No. Most members are freelancers, consultants and creators without a company. A skill and something to sell is enough. We back you, not the idea, so it works even if your project changes.

Are the mentors really based in Silicon Valley?

Yes. More than a quarter of the mentors in our programmes are based in Silicon Valley. Most of the rest built a company there, worked there, or invest with people who do. That access always existed. You just could not reach it unless you moved there.

I already run a business with real revenue. Is this too basic?

No. Some members make millions, some start with a skill. Sessions are built around what you bring, and the work we make fits where you are.

What is in each plan?

Free: your plan, recordings of the live sessions, and a private draft of your page. With you, $99 a month on the yearly plan: a weekly call where we work beside you and publish together, live sessions, the network, and your page goes live. For you, $299 a month on the yearly plan: our agency plan. We make everything and you approve once a week. Team: 3 or more people on one plan, each with their own voice and channels, amplifying each other.

How much time does it take, and what do I actually do?

One conversation a month, 1 to 2 hours, on a topic we script with you. Then a few minutes every Friday to approve next week. On With you, add a weekly call where we work beside you. There are no tools to learn.

Who makes the work, and which AI do you use?

Our team and our AI make it together. The AI runs on frontier models, mostly Claude Code, trained with what our mentors teach. Mentors and peers give feedback in live sessions, and nothing goes out without your approval. You need no AI subscription of your own.

Will you promote my work or introduce me to investors?

We do not make direct introductions. We share good member work on our channels and with partners, so the right people find you. We cannot promise views, leads or customers, and we do not raise money for you.

What if I want to raise money later?

If it grows big enough, our investor community is there, and you can apply to any accelerator you choose. They are separate and make their own decisions. We do not raise money for you.

Do you take a share of my business? Who owns what I make?

We never take a share of your business. The membership fee is the only thing we take. Everything you make is yours: drafts, pages, offers and content. You keep it all if you leave. We only ask permission to feature your work on our channels.

What happens to my data?

Your public page shows only what you choose to publish. We do not sell member data. You can ask us to delete your account information.

What language and time zone is it in?

English. Live sessions are for members, at times that work for Asia and Europe, and they are recorded. Free accounts get the recordings.

What is the 99% Wall, and what is the book?

The 99% Wall is the public list of people who stand behind founders. Your card goes up with your free plan: your name, your photo if you want, your number. Anthropreneur is the book of this business, written with 1,000 people on the human side of building alone. Pre-order it for $30 to become a Founding Member: your name is printed in it, and you can contribute a few lines and be featured. Members get the book free. A year on a plan makes you a Founding Patron.

How much does it cost?

Free costs nothing and needs no card. With you is $99 a month on the yearly plan ($1,188 once a year), $117 on six months and $133 on three. Month to month is $149, and you can stop after any month. For you is $299 a month on the yearly plan ($3,588 once a year). One person, one price, and you keep your rate for the term.

Do I have to commit for a year?

No. Start with one month at $149. If it works for you, stay longer and pay less: $133 a month on three months, $117 on six, $99 on the year. If it does not, stop after the month.

Why not just do it myself?

You can, and your free plan shows you how. What most people miss is the person across the table. Recording alone is awkward. One good conversation a month with us gives you more to say, in your own voice, than weeks of trying on your own. Then we turn it into the pieces and you just say yes.

Why do you suggest starting with 3 months?

Most of the growth comes after month 3. Posting every week earns trust from the platforms, and long videos keep getting found. Three months is enough to see it start, then you decide.

Can my team join?

Yes. Teams start at 3 people on one plan, each with their own voice and channels, and you amplify each other. Every seat is one person at the same price. From six people, at least one in every four is on For you. There is no volume discount. Bigger teams get more instead: from 10 people your own programme page, from 25 a monthly group session, from 50 a quarterly day in person with us.

Do you need my logins?

No. We never hold your logins. We publish from Openfor channels, or from an account you connect once, and you can disconnect it any time.

Can I cancel?

Yes. Yearly, six-month and three-month plans are paid upfront, run to the end of their term and do not renew automatically. Month to month can stop any month, with no fee. There are no refunds for the unused part of a paid term. You keep everything you built either way.

We hand you the work. You put it out there. For the 99%.
