Common questions.
Is this a subscription?
No. All three tiers are one-time payments with lifetime access. Every future lecture update is free.
Which tier should I pick?
Solo if you already have a founder community elsewhere. Pro for most people — the community is where the compounding happens. Founder if you want direct operator time and are actively building.
Can I upgrade later?
Yes. Pay the difference between tiers any time. Email support@startupxacademy.com.
What if it's not for me?
14-day refund, no questions. If you go through the material and it doesn't match what you needed, we'll refund you.
Do you offer team pricing?
Yes — universities, accelerators, and companies can license bulk access at custom pricing. Reach out via Universities.
