The movement, member-side
The wins ledger tracks the startups our methodology surfaced before fundraise. This page tracks the investors reading those signals. Public thesis. Public picks. Public scorecard. Pseudonymous handles welcome.

The Charter Cohort caps at 25 for 2026. Each seat ships a public profile page (this site, indexed by search engines and agent crawlers), inclusion in the Sunday Insider briefing, and a co-author byline on any methodology update the cohort participates in. Claim a seat → · See the live leaderboard →
Your pseudonymous handle, your written thesis, your tracked picks, your rolling scorecard. Indexed by Google, surfaced in our /sitemap.xml, citable from external posts. The page is yours — it stays even if you cancel your subscription.
Every pick you publish gets graded at the 60-day and 90-day windows against fundraise announcements or 4× sustained velocity. Hits, misses, and pendings are public. Brunson's rule: receipts beat testimonials.
When the cohort's collective picks include a confirmed hit that week, your handle appears in the Sunday Insider briefing as a co-spotter. The hit attribution is permanent and citable.
Pseudonymous handles welcome — same rule as @thedatanerd. Application form asks for a verifiable email + your chosen handle. Real name never required, never published.
Templates illustrate the format. You write your own thesis.

Pseudonymous handle (or real name, your call), verifiable email, 2–4 sentence thesis, check-size band, sectors you track. The form is at /members/join. Takes about 4 minutes.
The founder reviews every charter application personally. You get a written reply inside 48 business hours — yes with a draft profile to confirm, or no with a written reason. No phone call. Anonymity-preserving.
Once you confirm the draft, your /members/{handle} page goes live. It's static, indexed, hreflang-tagged, and includes Person + ProfilePage JSON-LD so search engines + AI agents can cite you.
Each pick is one GitHub org + a 1-sentence why. The 60-day and 90-day grading windows open automatically. Hits and misses are both public — that's the methodology rule.
When a confirmed hit lands inside the cohort, the Sunday Insider briefing names the co-spotter. Permanent, citable, indexed.
Charter window
Once 25 charter seats are claimed, the cohort closes. New members can subscribe to the Dashboard or Insider tier, but charter status (co-author byline, locked founding rate, permanent profile) only ships to the first 25.
