Reworked the checkout so a student goes from click to in-cohort role in under a minute. Onboarding friction is where creator tools go to die.
Showed it to two creators. One said 'so I don't have to leave Discord?' three times. Yes. That's the pitch.
Runs on top of an existing server.
Prototype layers a paid cohort on top of a server you already run. No migration, no 'move your community'. That constraint is the entire bet.
All monetize with a spreadsheet and a prayer.
Twelve creator interviews. Every one of them already sells something to their Discord — via a Google Form, a Stripe link, and manual role-granting at midnight. The pain is the plumbing.
Amber checkmarks are platform-verified; paper checkmarks are founder-reported.
Top climbers get a chance to talk to AngelRun’s angels — selection is at AngelRun’s discretion.
Don't ask creators to leave Discord — layer paid cohorts on top of the server they already run.
