For the ambitious and relentless...
First-Time Founders
You're drowning in advice, communities, and courses... none of that builds your company.
Pre gives you the structure and pressure to focus on the only two things that matter: validating your idea and getting traction.
In Pivot Hell
You're working furiously, but without a clear direction... and it's not adding up.
Pre gives you a system to narrow your focus, validate fast, and execute in a way that builds toward something real.
Serial Entrepreneurs
Experience is a killer advantage, but it can also come with some bad habits, levels of comfort or compelling excuses.
Even pro athletes have great coaches that see their potential and push them to work harder. We built Pre to do exactly that for us.
Post-Raise
You raised a round, congrats! That's a huge milestone... Now you really can't afford to fail.
It's tempting to take a break, but you need to keep the pressure on. You need to keep executing like it's your last chance. Pre keeps you in that mindset.
Why is Pre so aggressive?
Because we take you seriously. We believe you're capable of building something great and Pre was built to have zero tolerance for anything that keeps you from that.
Is Pre a Founder Community?
No. By design. It's not another founder network where accountability gets offloaded onto other users high-fiving each other in Slack. You don't need to babysit someone else's startup. You need to build yours.
How do I set a good 10-week goal?
Pre helps you define a single, ambitious target that feels just out of reach... but possible.
It's not about picking something safe. It's about setting the kind of goal that demands your best work.
What if I'm still at the idea stage?
Even better. Pre helps you validate fast, test early, and avoid wasting months chasing the wrong thing.
You don't need a product to set a goal. You need a customer problem worth solving.
How much time does this take?
Almost none. Pre cuts all the fat. No project management fluff, no planning overhead.
You spend less time managing your work, and more time doing the work that matters.
What happens after the 10 weeks?
You set your next ambitious goal.
The best founders stay in founder mode—pushing hard, learning fast, and turning possibility into inevitability.
