$99/mo on the annual plan · no equity · month to month · join any time
Tools are no longer the hard part. Getting known, getting paid and getting introduced never were, and none of them can be solved alone at your desk.
What still decides the outcome is human: distribution, accountability, and someone experienced who checks your work. That is exactly where people stall.
The best mentors, networks and opportunities sit in a few zip codes and serve the top 1 to 2%. Everybody else is outside the gate, equally capable, simply not invited.
Everything that worked for us and the people around us, turned into one path you work through month by month: visible first, because nothing moves until people know you exist, then priced, then growing, then automated. We back the person, not the idea, so it still works when the idea changes.
Members, liveYour public page, your posts and your one-sentence pitch, in front of real people in the first week.
Post publishedWe help you develop a priced offer and a page that sells it, so you stop giving work away to prove you are good.
Offer ready to sendThe whole platform, custom-built to enable collaborations with us and the wider community, at scale.
Intro request sentYou approve every draft, so you iteratively learn the workflow itself. The point is that you can run it without us.
Draft approvedMost people should not raise money anyway. What makes this valuable is that it is bootstrap-friendly. It gives you the tools, support and structure to make progress without outside capital, and it is full of people who did exactly that.
Sessions with outside founders, operators and investors, plus sessions with our own mentors. Around 100 sessions a year · roughly 50 external and 50 internal, and anyone can join. Take one useful idea and decide later whether you want your own work reviewed.

See the price →We learned this by operating full programmes end to end, not by writing about them: six accelerators, dozens of mentoring programmes with partners, 130+ events, 11,000+ attendances since 2022. The same programme now runs for individuals, one person at a time.
250+ mentors and investors across 30 countries. Over a quarter are based in Silicon Valley and most of the rest built, worked or invested there. That know-how, that network and those opportunities used to require a visa, a move and an introduction. Now they cost $99 a month from anywhere on earth, and every week some of them sit with your actual work.

Two live mentor sessions, one AI build, and your approval: four steps every week, and the next week starts from whatever the last one produced.
One live hour every week with somebody who has already done it: a founder, an operator or an investor from outside the community. A different guest every week, drawn from 250+ mentors across 30 countries, more than a quarter of them in Silicon Valley.
The second session is about your work, not theirs. Our own mentors go one level deeper on where you actually are, with your small peer group present. The feedback is about your situation, never a template.
Whatever you decide in either session becomes finished work inside the platform the same week: deck, offer, page, posts, outreach, scripts, across 28 categories. You never start from a blank page.
Read it, adjust it, approve it. That is your whole job at this step. Approved work goes out, the result gets measured against where you started, and the next week begins from that.
Write one page about yourself and you never start from a blank page again. Whatever you decided in the session comes back as finished work the same week, and nothing goes out without your approval.
First we build you a distribution system that compounds: your page, your posts, your list, your channels, on a rhythm you can keep. Then we boost it through our own: 700K reach a year on the channels we own and 100M+ combined through partners. You publish once and it travels far past your own feed.
Everyone gets openfor.co/your-name. We also publish members: interviews, profiles and features on our own channels. What changes between the two tiers is who writes the page and how far we carry it.
Warm contacts in 100 countries through the combined Openfor and Founder Institute network. Research a market before you enter it, find a collaborator, run a workshop, or just talk to somebody who already works there. We make the introduction, you build the conversation.
You also show up in those markets yourself. Contribute something worth listing and you are on the Atlas for free. Enroll and you are listed as Premium: written with our editors, ranked above free listings, and shown on the pages for the ecosystems you actually work in.
4,700 people worldwide, listed with what they offer and what they want to collaborate on. Browse them, find the right one, contact them.
10,000+ accelerators, investors, grants, programmes and communities across 23 countries. Anyone can add an entry or correct one.
Deck, priced offer, sales page, outreach sequences, proof pack, lead list. Drafted by the platform, checked by AI reviewers, reviewed by mentors, approved by you. Around US$12,000 of work at agency and freelancer rates.
Separate prices are indicative agency and freelancer rates for comparable work, not quotes.
Everything above, plus everything else the weekly cycle produces, again the next month.
About $3.25 a day. The same support costs near US$10,000 a month bought separately, and any programme offering this level of access would normally take equity. We take none. We make our money when members grow, not when they subscribe.
The price will look like a joke to some people. That is on purpose. This kind of support has always been rationed by geography and by who you happen to know. We productized it so it costs $99 instead of $10,000 and works from anywhere on earth. We do not make money when you subscribe, we make it when you grow.

In a very short time I reframed my story and learned to tell it. It got me visible on LinkedIn and writing every week. The content is the product.
Early on, the hard part is credibility before people know you. Being in a verified community does more than grow my network. It makes me easier to trust.
It helps founders become more productive and direction-focused instead of following trends. Positioning, networking, monetization and modern marketing, with execution and clarity.
Achieving the first wave of traction is a game changer. With Openfor.co I grasped the significance of harnessing partnerships.
As a graduate of the first cohort: whether you are just starting out or experienced, the team teaches how to make good collaborations.
Insights, guidance and a dedicated team guided us to an ideal collaboration for validation and traction. Highly recommended.
Joining Openfor.co made me realize that partnerships are beneficial for companies of every size. Their approach has allowed us to delve into the intricacies of partnership dynamics.
After collaborating with Openfor.co, I got to know how to find, ask, offer, initiate, and maintain meaningful collaborations with other people and organizations. Now I am partnering and lining up.
This will be a valuable opportunity to rapidly prepare for partner development and engage at a high level.
Collaborating with Openfor.co is one of the most beneficial ways to ideate, identify, and initiate meaningful collaborations. The marketplace is easy to browse and the tools are essential.
This looks like a really unique opportunity. Partnership development has become a new focus for my company, so I will definitely look into applying.
Kudos for making this accessible to aspiring entrepreneurs. The fact that the first pilot cohort was free made it even more exciting.
$99 a month on the annual plan. No equity, cancel any month.
Individual experiences shared with permission. Not typical results, and not a promise of the same outcome.
Founder Institute if you want an accelerator, Co-Capital if it turns venture-scale. Chosen on traction, not on an application form. Most members never need either, and some arrive already doing millions in revenue. The programme is built around the individual either way.
Separate programs. Most members never need the accelerator or investors. Not investment advice.
AI drafts your work. Mentors from Silicon Valley and 29 other countries check it. We put it in front of our network. One membership, built around one person, open to anyone on earth.
$99/month is the annual plan rate. About two minutes. No equity, cancel any month.
A monthly incubator built around one person: AI drafts your work, mentors who have built and funded companies check it, and we put the result in front of our network. Over a quarter of those mentors are based in Silicon Valley, and you join from wherever you live.
Any day. There is no cohort and no waiting list, so nobody is ever behind. Your first mentor session is the week you join.
No company needed, and freelancers, consultants and creators are the core of this. Most members do not have a company; a skill and something you want to sell is enough, and you can register one later if it makes sense. We support the person, not the idea, so it holds up even if what you are building changes.
Yes. More than a quarter of the mentors in our programmes are based in Silicon Valley, and most of the rest built a company there, worked there, or invest alongside people who do. That access always existed — it was simply never reachable unless you moved.
Some members arrive with millions in revenue and some arrive with an idea and a skill. The programme is built around the individual, so what happens in the session depends on what you bring. What stays the same is the mentor review, the work the platform produces, and the distribution.
Everything, on every plan. The four-stage programme and its 34 deliverables, the AI platform, two live mentor sessions a week, the members community, templates, shared tools and perks, your public page written with our editors, and distribution on our channels. There are no tiers and no upsells — only how long you commit changes the price.
Three to five hours a week is realistic, one or two of those live. It is not a course: there is nothing to sit and watch, and every step ends in something that exists — a page, an offer, a post, a conversation. The AI prepares the rest, so your time goes into deciding and sending.
The AI writes the first draft and ten AI reviewers pull it apart, then a human mentor reviews it with you. Nothing is published without your approval. We use frontier models from more than one provider, chosen per task, and change them as better ones arrive — you do not need your own subscriptions.
We don’t make direct introductions. We share member work on the channels we own and ask partners to pick it up, so the right people come to you — which works better than a cold intro. Selection is editorial, based on the work. We cannot promise views, leads or customers, and this is not a fundraising service.
Our partner accelerator and investor network are there if you want them. They are separate programmes with their own selection and their own decisions.
We take no equity, ever — the membership fee is the only thing we take. Everything you make is yours: drafts, pages, offers and content, yours to keep and take with you if you leave. We only ask permission to feature your work on our channels.
Your public page shows only what you choose to publish. We do not sell member data, and you can ask us to delete your account information.
English. Live sessions are scheduled to work for Asia and Europe, and everything is recorded if you cannot make it.
$149 month to month; $133/mo for 3 months, $117/mo for 6, $99/mo on the annual plan. Whatever rate you start on is the rate you keep for that term. Longer plans cost less because this works better over time — and they also get priority mentor slots, more of our distribution and earlier access to perks. Annual members get the most exposure on the platform.
On the month-to-month plan, yes — stop any month, no notice and no cancellation fee. Longer plans are paid upfront and run to the end of their term, and they do not auto-renew without you. If you want flexibility, start month to month and move to a longer plan once you know it fits. Nothing you built is taken back either way.
