FAQ

Is it really free?

The core is. Forever.

The Flight Plan, Missions, Squads, and community are all free. If you want more, there's a Pro tier at $19/month with priority access and deeper tools. We built the free tier to be genuinely useful, not a teaser.

What do I actually get?

More than you'd expect.

A Flight Plan from incorporation to first raise. Step-by-step Missions so you always know what to work on next. A Squad of founders who get it. A monthly group call with founders and the Eight Bit team. Community access to ask questions and get honest feedback. And a direct line to Eight Bit when you're ready for more.

What are Advisory Sessions?

One hour. Real answers.

Book a focused session with Steve or Don for $250. Come with a specific challenge — product direction, hiring, fundraising, architecture, whatever's blocking you. You'll leave with clear next steps, not a sales pitch.

What's a Squad?

Real accountability.

A small group of founders — by stage, industry, or just who you want to build with. You meet regularly, share progress, and hold each other accountable. No mentors, no advisors — just founders in it with you.

Who is this for?

Founders who are building.

Pre-launch through early traction. Solo founders, co-founders, technical and non-technical — if you're building something real and want a group around you that actually gets it, you'll fit here. If you're looking for a passive resource to browse occasionally, this probably isn't it.

How do I get in?

Request access. We review.

Submit a request to join and tell us a bit about what you're building. We review every application. It's not a long process — we're looking for founders who are serious, not founders who have already made it.

How is this different from an accelerator?

No equity. No schedule. No gatekeeping.

You move at your own pace with a squad you actually choose.

What does "invite only" mean?

We verify before we approve.

It keeps the quality of the squads high — everyone in here is serious about building.
