Founding cohort — applications open

This is your seat
at the table.

Helm's founding cohort is a small group of solo operators getting first access to an AI executive team that runs the operational side of their business. You'll shape how Helm works. You'll get founding member status as we scale. And you'll never decide alone again.

What you get

Three things that don't come later.

The founding cohort is not just early access. It's a different relationship with the product than anyone who joins after you.

01
First access
You're using Helm before anyone else. New agent features, new capabilities, new integrations land in your workspace first. You're shaping what they become.
02
Direct input
You have a direct line to me. Weekly check-ins, feedback that actually moves the roadmap, and meaningful influence over the product. You're not a customer. You're a collaborator.
03
Founding member status
Founding pricing locked in for life. Permanent recognition in the product. A relationship with Helm that no one who joins later can buy. This is the only time this offer exists.
Who this is for

You should apply if any of this sounds like you.

The founding cohort is selective by design. Not because we're trying to manufacture exclusivity, but because Helm only works for a specific kind of operator — and the early feedback we get shapes the product for the next thousand people who join.

  • You run a one-person business — consulting, coaching, fractional services, agency, or similar.
  • You sell judgment, expertise, or relationships — not products that scale on their own.
  • You've felt the weight of making every hard call alone — pricing, positioning, scope, hiring.
  • You're generous with feedback. Founding members are co-builders, not passive users.
  • You're comfortable with MVP roughness. Things will break. We'll fix them. Your patience is a feature, not a bug.
