Frequently Asked Questions
What does it cost to be a Founding Partner?
Founding Partners receive a permanently discounted rate on all SpecOps services. The exact rate depends on your tier and usage, but it will always be the lowest price we ever offer — locked in for the lifetime of your account.
How are applications reviewed?
Every application is personally reviewed by our CEO. We're looking for alignment, ambition, and a genuine need for what we're building. You'll hear back within 5 business days.
What's the time commitment?
Minimal. We ask for one 30-minute strategy call per month and honest feedback when we ship new features. Beyond that, use the platform however you need.
Can I leave the program if it's not a fit?
Absolutely. There's no lock-in. If you leave and come back later, you'll rejoin at standard pricing — so the founding rate is a real, use-it-or-lose-it benefit.
