What You Get in Steps 1–4

This is not a course. It's a Founder OS—installed with advisor oversight—built to get you to customers while protecting founder health through a sustainable weekly rhythm.

Full Access to the Founder OS Workspace

Interactive workspace to build and refine your model with clarity—so customer truth drives your decisions.

The Founder OS Components

  • Founder OS Baseline — constraints, risks, leverage, and founder health signals that affect execution.
  • Customer-First Strategy Map — first customer, simplest paid offer, and the proof you must earn next.
  • Launch Sequence — the shortest path to evidence for your business.
  • Weekly Cadence + Accountability (Ninety.io) — weekly priorities, scorecards, and a founder health check that prevents drift.

Weekly Advisor Oversight

Pressure-testing, prioritization, and execution governance from trained advisors—so you don't drift, avoid the hard work, or burn out under pressure.

Ongoing Operating Support Through Launch and Early Scaling

As long as you remain a Mudlabs customer, we stay with you through launch and early scaling—focused on customer truth and execution.

The Customer-First Founder Transformation

Here's what changes when the Founder OS gets installed.

From Vague Idea to Customer-First Clarity

Turn assumptions into a clear first customer, a real offer, and the proof you need next.

→

From Overwhelm to a Weekly Operating Cadence

Know exactly what to do this week—then repeat with discipline.
