YOU'RE EXACTLY WHO THE COHORT IS FOR.
Every Idea to Launch session is led by Richard directly. Ten sessions, two hours each, over four weeks - the same fouder companies engage at $500 to $1,000 per hour.

Cohort Rate
The cohort exists because most early-stage founders can't - and shouldn't - pay advisory rates. Small groups are how you get the same time in the room at a price that makes sense before revenue.

Capped at 15 students so the time is real, not theater.
