All Access

Your instruction manual for building a
$25k+ per month bootstrapped business.

Hey there 👋We built Founder Files because there’s nothing we love more than nerding out on ideas for lean, profitable businesses.BUT…There’s one piece of feedback we’ve heard time and time again from our readers.It usually goes something like…“I love the ideas that you guys share in the newsletter, but do you have anything more in-depth for someone like me who wants to get started on building the idea right away?”Up until now, our answer has (sadly) been, “Sorry, no we don’t 😞”.Well, I’m happy to report that that’s all about to change.We’re launching Founder Files All Access.“What is All Access?”, you may ask.All Access is a startup accelerator for Founder Files readers who are serious about building a real, profitable business to $25k+/month in revenue.NOW, before you get too excited, this is not a guide to get-rich-quick schemes.- We’re NOT teaching you how to day trade.
- We’re NOT going to show you what crypto altcoins to buy and sell.
- We’re NOT teaching you about BS business schemes like dropshipping or wholesalingHere’s what we ARE doing:We’ve built detailed, step-by-step playbooks on how to build real, profitable businesses like:- Digital agencies (Meta/Twitter Ads, short-form video, ghostwriting, etc.) 💪
- Creator-first businesses (faceless YouTube channels, newsletters) 🎨
- Miro SaaS tools and AI-wrappers 🤖And much more.To do this, we’ve worked with real operators who have scaled these exact categories of businesses to 7, 8, and even 9 figures in revenue.We asked them detailed questions about the things that they wished they knew when they got started, the challenges they ran into, and what it takes to grow.We did all of this so that it’s as simple as following the outlined steps to get your business off the ground.These playbooks will demystify the process of taking a business from $0 to 7 figures and beyond.But…Founder Files All Access is SO much more than just the playbooks we’ve built.When you join, you’ll also get access to a community of builders who are on the same path, many of whom have the experience to support you along your journey.You’ll get a built-in network of ambitious, like-minded founders rooting for you and your success.The saying is that “network is your net worth.”Let me tell you, there’s a reason it’s a cliche.Ask any successful founder about the importance of relationships. I guarantee they will tell you that, without the people who helped them along the way, they wouldn’t have reached their business goals.The community alone is worth the price of admission.Speaking of which… let’s talk about the price.When we launch in Q3 of 2024, we’re going to charge $995/year for Founder Files All Access.(Then we’re planning to raise the price even higher as we expand content, features, and value – and it will STILL be an incredible deal.)But, for Founder Files readers who pre-order and claim their spot in All Access today, we’re offering a locked-in price of $199/year.That’s only $199/year for:- Unlimited access to all the playbooks, guides, and deep dives 📰
- An invitation to join our Slack Community for All Access founders and operators 🤝
- Monthly invites to live Q&A’s with operators that have grown the business categories we’ll be covering to 7, 8, and 9-figures in profit 📣
- And MORE features you’ll learn about below 👀For the same price of a mocha per week at Starbucks, we’re going to give you an expert-level toolkit to build a profitable, $25k+/month business.We’re so confident you’re going to get 10x the membership cost of All Access back in value that we’re going to make you a deal.We'll offer you a 30-day money-back guarantee.If you put one month's worth of effort into your business using the Founder Files All Access suite of playbooks and community and still don’t see a path to earning back the $199/year membership, we’ll refund you the full amount.Enough of a no-brainer yet?Make a bet on yourself this year.
