FAQs

  • 12 months acceleration with 4 founder showcases. There’s no fixed “batch” or cohort. RTC is designed as an ongoing system to plug into your roadmap and milestones. Founders typically stay active 12–18 months (pre-seed → series A) as they move through experiments, labs, and funding readiness.

  • Yes. RTC isn’t exclusive — it’s a human accelerator designed to complement, not replace, traditional programs. Founders often use RTC to sharpen conviction and traction before applying, or to stay grounded and accountable after joining other accelerators.

  • RTC itself is not a fund. We surface signal and momentum through the OS and Signal Showcase, giving you visibility with our capital partners. Verified Pro members also receive curated warm introductions to aligned investors.

  • Start free by activating the Founder OS here. From there, you can upgrade to Verified (Core) or Verified (Pro) for full access to labs, deal flow, and showcases.

  • Our venture advisory network includes experienced founders, VCs, and operators across key verticals — AI-native software, consumer & wellness, fintech, vertical SaaS, healthcare/bio, infrastructure & dev tools, deep tech, creator economy, and more.

    Advisors participate in weekly Vision Labs, targeted workshops, and 1:1 sessions with Verified members.

    • Core: Visibility in the deal room, access to IRL Founder Labs, included entry for one Signal Showcase per year with selection eligibility.

    • Venture: All Core features plus higher touch 1:1 advisory, invite only deal rooms, and included entries for all four Signal Showcases.

  • Signal is our quarterly founder showcase summit. Unlike demo days or pitch theater, Signal is earned — members surface proof and progress through weekly experiments. Founders share their momentum in front of top VCs, entrepreneurs, and operators.

  • Most groups are either social clubs or accelerator programs with heavy equity costs. RTC is a human accelerator: lightweight, continuous, and focused on experiments + conviction. It’s designed for the AI era — combining agentic intelligence, human labs, and investor visibility into one seamless system.

  • RTC is built for early-stage founders — from idea through initial traction. You don’t need revenue or a full product, but you do need conviction and the willingness to test it weekly.

  • No — the founder experimentation system and selected workshops and check ins are offered in person and hybrid. That said, IRL Vision Labs, workshops and Signal Showcases are currently hosted in LA, NY, Seattle, and SF.
