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 eligibility for the Founders’ Appreciation Grant) 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 $850 per month). Credits are applied to Echo Threads discovery placements, carousels, and promo campaigns for your listings.
