Founder Mode, clearly
The practical answers
Who is Founder Mode for?
Founder Mode is for AI-native builders turning an idea into a product, including solo founders and small startup teams who want practical tools, accountable peers, and one place to run the work.
What can a founder do here?
A founder can validate and share ideas, claim an open idea, move a startup through building, launched, and sunset stages, manage planning and documents in a startup workspace, publish progress, ask the network for feedback, and use founder calculators and AI tools.
What is free and what is paid?
Starter access is free. The Founder plan is $7 per month or $70 per year; Inner Circle is $70 per month or $700 per year. Paid plans add higher limits and access described on the pricing page.
Who operates Founder Mode Network?
Founder Mode Network is a Belgian sole-proprietor business operated by founder Senne Van Heghe and built with co-founder Rutger De Maeyer.
How does the MCP integration differ from the public website?
The public website contains public startup, founder, news, glossary, and tool pages. The MCP integration is a separate authenticated connection that lets a user grant a compatible AI assistant access to that user's own Founder Mode context; it is not a public feed of private startup data.
Pricing and plan limits can change. The pricing page is the current source of truth.
