The Founding 500
One of the first 500 athletes building Octane.
Octane is being built with its first 500 athletes, not for them. A Founding Athlete gets the first builds, a number that stays on the account, the founding price for as long as the subscription runs, and a direct line to the person building it — every recommendation has a thumbs down with a reason, and each one is read.
What Founding means
Early access — TestFlight first.
Founding invites arrive in batches with a TestFlight link. TestFlight builds run at full Pro.
A Founding Athlete number.
Shown in Settings, permanently. “Founding Athlete #42.”
The founding price, locked while you stay subscribed.
Everything in Pro, at the founding price — locked in for as long as you stay subscribed. When the seats are gone, they're gone.
A direct line.
Every recommendation has a thumbs up and a thumbs down with a reason — Too cautious · Too aggressive · Data looks wrong · Confusing · Something else — and Settings → Report a problem sends us the technical context automatically.
New features as they ship.
Founding Athletes get each build on TestFlight before it reaches the App Store.
$69.99/yr
Everything in Pro · 14-day free trial when you subscribe in the app
Limited to 500.
What you're joining
The morning decision and the Why sheet behind it — the two screens a Founding Athlete opens first.
Questions
Do I pay anything now?
No. Joining puts your email on the list. The founding price is paid in the app when your invite arrives and you choose to subscribe — after a 14-day free trial.
What does “locked in” mean?
Your founding price renews at that price for as long as you keep the subscription. Cancel and rejoin later, and you pay whatever Pro costs then.
When do invites go out?
In batches, as builds are ready. There's no date to promise yet, and we'd rather not invent one. Sign in with the same email you joined with — that's how your seat and your number find you.
Is a Founding Athlete's app different?
No. Founding is a price, a number and a place in line — every Pro feature is the same for everyone.
