Why Founding Members exist (and why only until September 30)

The deal

The Founding Members program isn't a promo. It's a concrete deal, with squared numbers, and with reasons I owe you if you're going to put down your card.

The offer: anyone who activates a paid subscription before September 30, 2026 gets Plus at €7/mo locked in for life. Not €7 the first year. €7 as long as you don't cancel, no matter how the public pricing evolves.

Why I'm doing this

Short answer: I need a first wave of paying users to validate that this solves a real problem. Long answer: the founding use case of Memchats isn't something you discover in an onboarding funnel. I need people who'll use it for 6, 12, 24 months. And for them to stay, they need to trust I won't squeeze them with annual price hikes.

Why that date

Operational math. Real costs (compute, model, infra, my time) are covered with a minimum recurring revenue. I need that revenue before the next product investment phase, planned for the last quarter of 2026. The date isn't arbitrary: it marks the close of the first founding wave.

No fake countdown timer, no "12 slots left" without verification. There's a date. When it arrives, it's over. Before, it isn't.

What matters

If you cancel and come back, you lose the Founding price. Non-transferable. If you stay, you keep €7/mo as long as the plan exists, written in terms. That's trust, not a first-year discount.

If you fit, this is the moment. If not, that's also fine: Plus at public price is still a good deal compared to any real alternative.
