Questions

What do I get for free?

A free account opens 50 full company profiles and their growth stories, plus the Matchmaker, newsletter, launch tracking and a listing for your company. Founder Pro unlocks all 203 companies and all their growth stories.

What is the founding cohort?

The first 50 Founder Pro members pay $9/month instead of $19/month, locked in for as long as they stay subscribed, and get to try new features in beta before anyone else.

How does billing work?

Founder Pro is billed monthly through Stripe and renews automatically until you cancel. You'll always get a reminder email before a renewal.

How do I cancel?

From your dashboard, in one click. You keep Pro until the end of the month you've paid for, and you won't be charged again.

Does Featured placement change research or rankings?

No. Featured listings are clearly labeled and only affect placement, never the research, figures or grades.
