Free founder test

Can you be a founder?

Twelve questions, a few minutes, nothing to pay. Pass it and you can ask for access — and you will already know what you are getting.

What it asks

Twelve questions drawn at random from the exam bank of our founder course — focus and time, what a founder's job actually is, money in the only terms that matter, customers, pricing. Nine right to pass.

A different twelve every time. Available in Hindi — pick your language with the button at the top before you start. A question we have not translated yet stays in English rather than arriving half-translated.

What it is not

Not a test of English, schooling or cleverness, and not a barrier: you can request access without it today. It is here so you find out what this is before you spend anything, and so we know who to help first.

Free, however many times you take it.

Why it exists. Building the thing is the easy half; running it is the half that decides. These are the questions we would want a founder to have thought about before spending money — drawn from the same bank as our founder course exam, so what you learn here is the real syllabus.

You do not have to pass it to get in. Requesting access works today either way, and a person reads every request. A pass just tells us — and you — that you already know what you are buying.

Used to remember that you passed, and it must be the address you later request access with. No code is sent now.

Questions about the test

Do I have to pass it to get in?

Not today. Requesting access works either way and a person reads every request. The test is here so you know what you are buying before you spend anything, and so we know who needs the most help.

Why is there a test at all?

Because the expensive way to learn what this does and does not do is after paying for it. Somebody who has taken it is not disappointed in week three.

Is it hard?

It is about judgement rather than recall. The marked paper gives you the answer to everything you missed, the reason, and the passage from the course it was written from — so a fail is a reading list rather than a door.

What happens if I fail?

You are told exactly what you got wrong, what the answer was and why, with a link to read. You can try again in six hours with the same address.

Does it cost anything?

No. There is nothing to pay at any point before you have an account, and the test is free however many times you take it.

Is it a test of English?

No. It is about business judgement and about what this product actually does. If the language is the barrier, write to support and we will find a way.

What happens after I pass?

You request access with the same address, prove it with an emailed code, and land in the queue a person reads. Your result is attached to that request. An invitation is still how an account comes into existence.
