FAQ

What makes these perks exclusive?

They are not baseline product features - they are launch-only advantages (ad-credit matching, boosted discovery, co-marketing, API access) available to the first 150 founders.

Can I upgrade later?

Yes. You can move from Supporter to Partner to Champion, subject to availability of the 150 total founder spots.

Is there a contract?

Month-to-month. Cancel anytime; you'll keep your Founding Badge. Some VIP perks (like credit to equity) require minimum participation periods.

How does ad credit matching work?

We match your in-platform promotional spend based on tier (Supporter $50, Partner $250, Champion $500 per month). Credits are applied to Echo Threads discovery placements, carousels, and promo campaigns for your listings.
