Batch pricing

Built for the batch.

For Y Combinator and a16z speedrun teams. Not a coupon on one plan: the whole menu, plus terms that fit how batch companies actually raise.

  1. 01

    10% off everything

    Projects, suites and Elysium 360. Most studios discount retainers only. We discount the whole menu.

  2. 02

    Raise later, pay later

    Pay 50% to start. The rest is due 30 days after your round closes, or in 6 months, whichever comes first. Cash, never equity.

  3. 03

    Demo Day lock

    Tell us your Demo Day. We fix the ship date to it, and the ship-date guarantee applies.

  4. 04

    Batch-mate credit

    Refer a founder from your batch. When they sign, you both get $2,500 off.

First-glance guarantee

Before we design, we run a 5-second test with 50 people who match your buyer: what does this company do? We run it again on the new site. If more people don't get it, we keep revising, free, until they do.

A Clarity Audit or MVP Blueprint is credited 100% against the project that follows, if you start within 60 days.

Paying

Paid as the work moves.

Smaller projects split in two. Bigger ones pay in three milestones. You never pay far ahead of the work.

  1. Projects under $20k

    Two payments. A 50% deposit books your slot and starts the work; the balance is due on delivery.

  2. Suites and projects over $20k

    Three milestone payments, tied to progress, so you're never far ahead of the work.

  3. Elysium 360

    Invoiced monthly in advance, for the month ahead. Pause and resume anytime.

FAQ’s

Pricing, plainly

23~26©

Why do you publish prices when most studios don't?

Because the first question every founder has is cost, and a call shouldn't be the price of an answer.

"From" prices are where a standard scope starts. We confirm a fixed price in writing before any work begins, and it doesn't move unless the scope does.

Who qualifies for batch pricing?

Teams in a current Y Combinator or a16z speedrun batch, or within 24 months of their Demo Day. Tell us your batch on the intro call and we'll verify it.

Running a different accelerator? Ask. We add programmes whose bar matches these two.

How does raise-later actually work?

You pay 50% at kick-off. The balance is invoiced 30 days after your round closes, or 6 months after kick-off if that comes first.

It's a payment schedule, not a loan or equity. There's no interest and nothing on your cap table.

What does the first-glance test measure?

We show 50 people who match your buyer your homepage for five seconds, then ask what the company does. We score how many get it right.

We run it on your current site before design and on the new one before launch. If the new score isn't higher, we keep revising at no cost until it is.

Do the discounts stack?

Batch pricing applies on top of suite pricing. On Elysium 360 it doesn't stack with quarterly billing, because it doesn't need to: batch teams get the quarterly rate while paying month to month.

Can you work for equity?

No. We're paid in cash so our only incentive is the work. Raise-later exists for exactly this reason.
