The program
One afternoon to go live. Ninety days to make it stick.
We select for teams where one real workflow can ship in 90 days.
A fit
- Founder-led B2B SaaS, roughly 10 to 75 people
- A working product with a usable API or backend
- One named workflow customers already value
- An engineer who can give it about 2 hours a week
Not this cohort
- Pre-product companies
- Agencies building for clients
- Generic AI exploration without a concrete customer action
How we select
Applications are open. Reviews are rolling.
Applications are scored across five dimensions. 6 companies join Cohort One; once it fills, later applicants are first in line for Cohort Two.
- Customer urgency
- Who is asking for this, and how recently
- Workflow value
- Something customers would use weekly, not a demo
- Production complexity
- Real auth, permissions, or write actions at stake
- 90-day readiness
- A usable API and an engineer with 2 hours a week
- Success ownership
- A named person who wants this to ship
Apply for Cohort One
Start with your name. The rest takes about five minutes.
