Founder is for builders who want to commit to the founding chapter from the start: the complete Crafter experience through December 31, 2029, paid once, with a private recognition for helping establish the Lab.

Resources teach the reasoning behind the work. Notion gives you knowledge and systems to adapt. Slack is where you discuss the work and develop your own approach with other members. Read the Crafter guide for the detailed teamspace purposes and access.
Build your own way of working
Use the membership around your own projects. You might organize project documentation after studying The Foundry, give your coding agents context from Swift Brain, or adapt Ops Lab instructions into a specialist team. Bring experiments and results back to Slack as your setup develops.
Founder has the same access as Crafter. Private Mentee’s Cockpit and a private working relationship with me belong to Crafter Mentorship.
One commitment to the founding chapter
Founder is $1,500 USD once, before applicable tax, for the complete Crafter experience through December 31, 2029 in Europe/Malta. The chapter runs from January 2027 through December 2029; verified access can begin before January. There is no automatic renewal. At most ten original people can join.
Places and access
There is no separate calendar sales deadline. Founder stays open while one of the ten original places remains, unless the offer is withdrawn, and departures or refunds do not reopen places. Access ends at January 1, 2030, 00:00 Europe/Malta for every Founder, so joining later means the remaining part of the chapter.
Founders keep a private founding recognition after access ends. It does not unlock paid content. Founder does not include ownership, voting rights, private company operations, priority support, or guaranteed time with me; feedback happens in the normal Lab spaces.
What comes next
December 2029 is a reflection point, not a scheduled shutdown; any successor offer would be a separate choice, with no automatic renewal.
Read the Founder terms before paying: they set out the refund policy, disputes and recognition. Crafter’s Lab does not offer refunds, except where required by applicable law. Gumroad shows applicable tax and the total due at checkout. Existing annual Founder contracts and O.G. commitments keep their own terms.
