Cohorts where the work is the artefact. Not the certificate.
30, 60, 90-day tracks for aspirers, first-time founders, and operating solopreneurs. Connect the tools you already use; every commit, post, sale, and call fills a verifiable founder profile in real time. End the cohort with something investors can browse — not a deck.
Curated by us, or run by your community.
Spark · Build · Compound
Three tracks, one rail. We curate the curriculum, run the live calls, host the demo days, bring the VCs. You bring the venture and the time.
Bring your own community
Run your existing curriculum on our rails. City builder groups, college clubs, vertical micro-communities. Every attendee builds a real Founders DNA profile during the cohort.

The eight questions we keep getting.
Who is this cohort for?+
Three tracks for three stages. Spark (30 days) is for aspirers and first-time builders going from idea to first artefact. Build (60 days) is for pre-launch founders going from artefact to first paying customer. Compound (90 days) is for operating solopreneurs scaling past their first deal.
How is a Founders DNA cohort different from GrowthX, Product School, or Y Combinator?+
Most cohort programs produce a certificate and a deck. Founders DNA cohorts produce a verifiable founder profile. Every commit, post, charge, customer-discovery call, and deploy you make during the cohort lands on a public-anon contributions heatmap. The output is a credential investors and organizers can browse — not a slide.
What is curated vs. organizer-led?+
Curated cohorts (Spark / Build / Compound) are run by CopilotVerse — we set the curriculum, host the calls, and bring the demo-day investors. Organizer-led cohorts are run by community organizers (city groups, college clubs, vertical micro-communities) on Founders DNA rails. Same activity-logging engine, different curriculum and host.
What gets logged during the cohort?+
Anything you connect: GitHub commits and releases, LinkedIn posts and reach, Stripe and Razorpay charges and payouts, Notion docs, Calendly and Cal.com discovery calls, Vercel and Netlify deploys, Telegram manual proofs (text, photo, voice), and anything else via webhooks, Zapier, or n8n. No screenshots, no quarterly self-reports, no inferred data.
Is the activity log public?+
Profiles are anon-public by default. The contributions heatmap, two radars, and venture pins are visible. Identity is unlocked per viewer with a magic link the founder controls. You decide who sees the name behind the work.
How much does a cohort cost?+
Pricing is set per cohort and varies between curated and organizer-led tracks. Cohort 01 (alpha) is intentionally priced low to seed the first profiles. Apply for the current cohort to see exact pricing and remaining seats.
When does the next cohort start?+
Cohort 01 is open and seating in waves — 12 seats for Build (60-day), 8 for Compound (90-day), and a wider intake for Spark (30-day). Apply with what you’re building; we onboard rolling until the seats fill.
Can I run my own cohort on Founders DNA?+
Yes. We are seeding the first 10 community organizers. You bring a curriculum and a community; the platform brings cohort tooling, attendee onboarding, payments, the activity log, and a transparent revenue share. Apply at /products/founders-dna/community.
