Guest applications
We don't look for credentials. We look for founders with something real to say — and the self-awareness to say it without the performance.
Apply to be a Guest →We're not looking for exits or unicorns. We're looking for people actively inside the build — who can speak to what it actually feels like to be mid-creation. Pre-revenue, post-revenue, bootstrapped, funded — doesn't matter. What matters is that you're in it.
Not a pitch. Not a highlight reel. A moment — a failure, a revelation, a conversation that shifted everything. The kind of thing you'd tell another founder at 1am when the polished version finally comes off. That's what we're looking for.
The Inner Circle is not a stage. It's a room. We want founders who can sit in discomfort, say "I don't know," and mean it. If you're coming to optimize your personal brand, this isn't it. If you're coming to be honest — welcome.
The Application
What happens after you apply
Fill out the form above. No deck needed, no credentials — just honest answers. We read every word.
We review every application personally within two weeks. If we see a fit, we'll reach out to schedule an initial conversation — not a formal interview. Just a conversation.
We record the episode, you get to hear yourself say something true, and it goes out to everyone in the Circle. Simple as that.
