01 / THE EXPERIENCE

Less someday.
More Monday.

Give us your idea on Friday. By Monday, you’ll have something you can see, click, test, and put in front of customers.

Not another conference. Not another pitch competition.
A product studio, a startup war room, and your next big step.

One idea. Real focus.

We find the smallest, smartest version of your idea — and go all in on making it real.

CONVICTION > COMPLICATION

You get the whole room.

Not six separate hires. One shared team across product, design, engineering, AI, business, and marketing.

GOOD PEOPLE. SHARED MOMENTUM.

Something you can show.

A focused build, a recorded one-minute founder pitch for Virtual Reveal Day, and a clear roadmap. A starting line — not another slide deck.

FOUNDER 72 / THE VIRTUAL REVEAL
01:00
MONDAY / VIRTUAL REVEAL DAY

YOUR COMPANY.
YOUR ONE MINUTE.

No stage. No long decks. No live-demo pressure. We record each founder talking about their company or pitching their idea in 60 seconds, then bring those stories together in an online cohort reveal.

01You bring the story.02We record your minute.03The cohort reveals online.

Recording details and the reveal platform will be shared with selected founders. No video is needed to apply.

Your story starts here
04 / THE TAKEAWAY

Leave with more
than a good story.

Your exact deliverables follow your scope.
The goal stays the same: move your idea forward.

Make your next move

A real first version

An MVP, a prototype, a website, an AI feature. Something tangible.

A direction that feels like you

Visual identity, product UI, and a clearer story for your brand.

A plan for your first customers

Positioning, pricing direction, and a practical go-to-market plan.

Your next 30 days

What we built. What’s left. What you should do next.

05 / CLEAR EXPECTATIONS. BETTER BUILDS.

The ground rules.

Big ambition. Honest expectations.
Here’s how we make this work.

01

$300. A focused 72 hours.

Not unlimited development. A shared team, a focused window, and a realistic scope.

02

Scope follows reality.

We build as much as we realistically can. Your MVP is defined with the team, not promised in advance.

03

Execution, not a finished company.

Expect meaningful progress. A production-ready product or a successful business is not guaranteed.

04

Your idea. Your product.

Your code, brand, idea, and business remain yours. We’re here to help you build them.

05

Be in the room.

Fast feedback and clear decisions make the weekend work. Your participation is essential.

06

No scope creep.

If it doesn’t help prove the idea, it probably doesn’t belong in the first build.

07

Ship beats perfect.

A working product beats another week of planning. Make it real, then make it better.

Bring conviction.
Leave with momentum.

06 / BEFORE YOU JUMP IN

Good
questions.

A few things worth knowing
before the clock starts.

Who is Founder 72 for?

Early-stage founders with a specific idea and conviction about a real customer problem. You don’t need to code or have an existing company. You do need to participate, make decisions, and be willing to focus.

What does the $300 include?

A place in the selected cohort, access to the shared product, design, engineering, AI, business, and marketing team during the 72-hour build, $100 in OpenAI API credits per founder, 30 days of free access to The Founders Circle, scope planning, and a next-step roadmap. Deliverables depend on your agreed MVP. Hosting, API usage beyond the included credits, and other third-party service costs are agreed separately before use.

How do the $100 in OpenAI API credits work?

Every participating founder receives $100 in OpenAI API credits as part of Founder 72. These are API credits for building with OpenAI, not a ChatGPT subscription or a cash payment. Ultrium will share access and redemption details with selected founders. Applying alone does not issue credits.

What marketing support is included?

We help you tell your product’s story with launch messaging, landing-page and launch copy, and social launch content. Specific deliverables are agreed as part of your 72-hour scope. Marketing support does not mean guaranteed customers, sales, or unlimited campaign management.

What is included with The Founders Circle?

Every participating founder gets 30 days of free access to The Founders Circle at joinfounderscircle.org. Ultrium will share activation instructions, the start date, and any terms that apply after the free period with selected founders. Submitting this application does not activate access or enroll you in a paid subscription.

Will I leave with a finished app?

Possibly — but that is not the promise. You may leave with a working MVP, a deployed website, an interactive prototype, an AI feature, or another focused proof of your idea. We define what is achievable together.

When and where is the next cohort?

Dates and location are being finalized. You can apply now, and selected founders will receive the details before confirming participation or making a payment.

Do I pay when I apply?

No. Applying is free and does not reserve or guarantee a spot. We review applications for clarity, fit, and realistic scope. Payment details are shared with selected founders.

What happens after I apply?

You’ll get a private Founder Hub where you can draft your one-page brief, organize assets, and prepare your pitch. Your application is then reviewed by the Ultrium team. Preparing your brief does not mean you have been accepted.

Who owns what we build?

You do. Your idea, business, brand, and the code created for your product remain yours. Third-party tools and open-source dependencies remain subject to their own licenses.

What happens on Virtual Reveal Day?

Monday is a virtual cohort reveal, not a traditional on-stage presentation. We record each founder introducing their company or pitching their idea in one minute, then feature those videos in the online reveal. There is no five-minute pitch deck or required live product walkthrough.

Do I need to record or upload a video to apply?

No. Apply with your idea first. If selected, prepare a one-minute company introduction or pitch; Ultrium will coordinate the recording. Recording times, the reveal platform, and publishing permissions are handled separately before the reveal. This site does not record or accept video uploads.

Can we keep building after Monday?

Absolutely. Every founder leaves with a next-step roadmap. If there’s a fit, you can discuss a separate follow-on build or ongoing product-team engagement with Ultrium. There’s no obligation.
