Founding Pitcher
How it works
Stop begging algorithms. Start pitching.
Your pitch compounds. The feed doesn't.
What you get and when
No waiting for “your launch day.” You open a rating window when you are ready.
- Founding Pitcher badge: permanent, on every pitch you publish!
- 10 pitch credits at launch (each opens one 7-day rating window), stackable, never expire!
- 50% off every rating window you pay for. No pay-to-skip-the-line, ever!
- First year Verified Creator free ($348 value): badge, handle, analytics!
- Unlimited audience invites: seed critics before you even pitch!
Your $1 is safer than leaving it in a checking account
Refund on request until we publicly commit to building. No subscription. No bait-and-switch. After we announce we're shipping, your dollar stays in. And you lock Founding Pitcher economics forever.
No secret algorithm
The HonestScore is the audience's call—not ours. Six public dimensions, open-source formula, time-boxed rating windows. We can't bury you with a feed algorithm or hide a bad score.
- Time-boxed windows — not eternal brigades.
- Anti-gaming — sybil flags, review-bomb review, published moderation stats.
- Disclosures built in — commercial intent welcomed, labeled like it should be.
Skeptics: full mechanics on HP-opening (expand “Trust & mechanics”). Policy + formula ship before live votes.
Weekend warriors (pre-launch voice)
Illustrative quotes. How builders describe the problem before launch. Not paid endorsements.
“I built a side tool on Sunday. I don't want to become a content slave just to drop the link.”Indie builder, pre-launch research
“Finally. Judge the pitch, not how many tweets I wrote before the algorithm lets me exist.”Weekend shipper, pre-launch research
How the viral loop pays you back
You join for $1 and get a unique referral link.
Anyone who pays $1 via your link becomes a Founding Pitcher too.
For every paying referral, you earn $5 toward opening a future rating window.
The problem. Then the fix
I'd just drop the link, but I have to comment, like, reply, build rapport, thread-craft, time my posts right, engage consistently for 3 weeks before the algorithm even acknowledges I exist. And by then I've already spent more time on social than the thing I was trying to sell.
Separate the pitch from the outreach. You still hunt for eyeballs—email, forums, ads, threads. One permanent page closes: proof, price, score.
