How it works
Running after one call.
- 01
Tell us about your company
Answer a 10-minute form by typing or recording voice notes. We use your answers to fill in your brain before the call.
- 02
Setup call
We spend 90 minutes on a screen share with you. We connect your meetings, email and calendar, load 30 days of history and switch on the jobs.
- 03
Check-in and handover
A 15-minute check-in to tune it, then a recorded 45-minute handover once it passes the checks in our guarantee.
- 04
Day-30 review
What your brain caught in its first month, and a quote for a version your whole team can use, with your $1,997 already off.
Founder Brain covers one person: you. Your team, Slack, Drive and your CRM come with the full build.
The guarantee
We keep working until it works.
You'll know what done means before you pay. We hand it over when all five of these are true. Until then, we keep working at no charge.
- Your feeds run clean five days in a row
- 30 days of history matches your sources
- Your assistant answers five questions you pick, with sources
- Your morning briefing runs five weekdays in a row
- We've held the handover call and sent you the recording
Who it's for.
For
- You want to see a brain work on your own week before your team gets one
- You bought the Starter Kit and would rather we did the setup
- You're on a Mac with a paid Claude plan
Not for
- Teams that want everyone on it from day one. That's the full build.
- Windows users. It's Mac only for now.
- Anyone who wants it emailing customers for them. No plan does that.
FAQ
How is this different from the Starter Kit?
It's the same setup. With the kit, you install it yourself in about 90 minutes. With Founder Brain, we set it up with you, load 30 days of history and tune it until it passes our checks.
How is it different from the full build?
Founder Brain covers one person. The build covers your whole company: your team asking it questions, Slack, Drive, your CRM, more history, more jobs and someone keeping it running. Sign a build within 60 days and your $1,997 comes off.
How much of my time does it take?
About 10 minutes for the form, 90 for the setup call, 15 for the check-in and 45 for the handover.
Does my data leave my computer?
Your brain lives in a folder on your Mac, and the assistant runs on your own Claude account. We work over screen share and never keep a copy.
What do I need before the call?
A Mac, the Claude desktop app and a paid Claude plan. If your email is on Google Workspace, your admin may need to allow Claude. We send a short checklist after you buy.
Can I get a refund?
All sales are final. If it doesn't pass our checks, we keep working at no charge until it does.
Can I talk to someone first?
Yes. Book a call.
