Async founder mastermind

Build your company. Not in isolation.

An execution system for founders who want to stop building alone. Every week you decide what matters, ship it, get useful feedback, review what happened, and know what to do next.

North star: founders who complete a meaningful weekly sprint.

Weekly objective

5 interviews with bootstrapped SaaS founders

Task progress

1 of 3 complete

This week

  • Ship waitlist page copy
  • Record 5 customer interviews
  • Cut onboarding from 8 steps to 4

AI recommendation (sample)

Based on the saved bottleneck, interview people who dropped at step 3, not new cold traffic.

Demo only. Live Copilot uses your workspace, never invented facts.

Shipping

Instant digital access. Nothing is mailed, nothing to wait for.

Returns

Cancel any time in Whop billing. Refunds are handled case by case.

Secure payment

Checkout is processed on Whop. No card needed to start free.

Four pillars

Build. Ship. Learn. Compound.

Build

Name the company, the constraint, and the next inspectable step. Stop collecting tools.

Ship

One weekly objective. At most three key results. Evidence when it lands, not a story.

Learn

Ask a specific question. Give a useful note. Applause is not the product.

Compound

Close the week, keep the lesson, start the next sprint with a clearer bottleneck.

The loop

Join, then run the week on purpose.

Questions

What is Catalyst Minds?

An execution system for founders who want to stop building alone. Every week you decide what matters, ship it, get useful feedback, review what happened, and know what to do next.

Who is it for?

Pre-seed and bootstrapped founders, indie hackers, and small teams who need a weekly cadence more than another noisy group chat.

Do I need an existing startup?

No. You need a current constraint and a willingness to ship something inspectable each week. Idea-stage is welcome. Fake traction is not.

How do weekly sprints work?

You name one weekly objective, at most three key results, attach tasks, write Mon / Wed / Fri / Sun check-ins, and close the week with evidence. There is no required live call.

How does the AI Founder Copilot work?

It reads what you saved in the workspace. If a fact is missing, it says: I don't have that information in your workspace. It never invents revenue, users, or testimonials.

What is included in Community vs Founder Circle?

Community is free: onboarding, one project, one active sprint, public posts, and three Copilot messages a week. Founder Circle is $49 a month for rooms, extra projects, AI review, and the private Whop forum.

Can I cancel?

Yes. Cancel any time from Whop billing. Access continues through the period you already paid.

Are there live events or matching?

Not as a promise. The product is async. Rooms exist. We do not run a matching engine or a live calendar yet.

Stop building in isolation.

Start free. Upgrade when you need rooms, review, and a tighter circle.
