BUILD IN
PUBLIC.
500 bootstrapped founders shipping weekly. No VC theater. No motivational BS. Just builders.
10-minute application · Personal review · 3-5 day decision
You're stuck in the middle distance.
You've got the skills. You've got ideas. You might even have an MVP sitting on GitHub collecting dust.
But here's what's actually stopping you:
This isn't a motivation problem. It's an environment problem.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU
HAVE PEOPLE IN YOUR CORNER
who are building too
Tobi Adelaja built 8 MVPs and 1 live SaaS application using AI-assisted development.
Not because he's special. Because he removed the friction. S2F is that same environment—but for you.
Weekly standups
Commit publicly and get unstuck on the specific thing blocking you
Hot seats
5 other builders tear apart your strategy (in a good way)
Real feedback
From people who've shipped this week, not theorists
AI-assisted workflows
That actually work (because we've tested them)
We're not here to teach you to code. We're here to turn your code into customers.
IS THIS FOR YOU?
This is for you if:
- You're building bootstrapped (no VC, no excuses)
- You ship weekly (or want to)
- You're willing to share your numbers, wins, and struggles
- You give feedback as well as you take it
- You're past the "I'm thinking about starting" phase
This is NOT for you if:
- You're looking for cheerleading without accountability
- You need permission to start building
- You want networking events and happy hours
- You're allergic to feedback
- You're still "researching the market"
If you're nodding to the first list, apply below.
If you're in the second list, we'll still be here when you're ready.

QUESTIONS
Why do I need to apply?
Because quality matters more than quantity. We'd rather have 500 committed builders than 5,000 lurkers.
What if I'm rejected?
You can join the free tier immediately or the waitlist to reapply in 3 months.
Do I need to be technical?
You need to be building. Whether you code, no-code, or AI-assist, doesn't matter. Shipping matters.
What's the acceptance rate?
Around 60%. We're not trying to be exclusive for ego. We're protecting the quality of the community.
When do founding member benefits end?
After 500 members or December 31, 2025, whichever comes first.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. No contracts, no commitments. Cancel anytime. But if you leave and come back after founding closes, you'll pay the higher rate.
WE'RE ACCEPTING
