// The problem

Marcus had been freelancing for 6 years and had a folder of 12 "someday" SaaS ideas. He kept building features before talking to a single person who might pay.

// Unlocked by
Module 2: The 48-Hour Validation Sprint
// What happened

He picked one idea, ran a 5-person problem interview, and had a $49/month pre-sale signed before writing a single line of product code.

Product Manager, big tech → founder
// The problem

Priya had the product instincts and the prototype. She just had no idea how to price it — she was charging $15/month "to be safe" and losing customers who didn't take it seriously.

// Unlocked by
Module 5: Pricing Psychology for SaaS
// What happened

She raised her price from $15 to $79/month, rewrote her positioning around outcomes instead of features, and went from 8 to 21 paying customers in the same 30-day window.

// The problem

Jordan (dev) and Sam (design) had 400 free users and zero revenue. They were terrified of adding a paywall and losing everyone. They'd been "almost launching" paid for 4 months.

// Unlocked by
Module 8: The Revenue Gate — Converting Free to Paid
// What happened

They launched a $49/month paid tier, kept free for under 3 seats, and hit $8,200 MRR in their first paid month. Both gave notice the following Friday.

The curriculum that ships founders.

Each module ends with a deliverable — not a quiz. You leave with something real: a pre-sale, a pricing page, a paying customer.

// Honest answers

Questions founders actually ask.

Do I need to be technical to take this course?
No. About 30% of our students are non-technical founders. We cover no-code tools, how to hire a first dev, and how to validate before writing a single line. The curriculum adapts to your background.
I've already started building. Is it too late to join?
It's actually the best time. Most students who join mid-build discover they're building the wrong things. The validation and pricing modules alone typically save 3–6 months of wasted work.
How is this different from other SaaS courses?
Every module ends with a deliverable you can ship: a pre-sale email, a pricing page, a customer interview script. We don't teach theory. We track outcomes: average time to first paying customer in our cohorts is 34 days.
What if I only have 5 hours a week?
The course is designed for 5–10 hours per week. The diagnostic you just completed adjusts pacing recommendations. Some of our best results came from founders working 6 hours a week with extreme focus.
Is there a community or is this self-paced solo?
Both. You get access to a cohort Slack channel, weekly office hours, and a peer accountability system. The solo-paced option exists for founders who want to go faster without scheduling constraints.
What's the refund policy?
Complete modules 1 and 2, submit the deliverables, and if you haven't had at least one meaningful conversation with a potential customer, we'll refund in full. We're betting on your execution.
