FounderScale Pricing
We prove your offer before you pay us to scale it. Validation costs you the ad spend and nothing else. The growth retainer is a flat $2,900 per month, and it starts only after the data earns it.
No retainer to find out if it works. No bundle. Ad spend is always separate and billed to your own account.
Validation Build
We run the full microtest framework on your offer: pain points, headlines, lead magnets, creatives, and primary text. You end with 3 validated ads ready to scale, plus the data behind them, inside your own portal.
Unlocks: Proof your offer has a market, before you commit to anything.
Growth Retainer
Full-funnel lead generation and Meta ad management built on the winning ads. We scale what the tests proved, run the optimization sprints, and report on cost per lead every week.
Unlocks: A pipeline that runs on validated messaging, not guesswork.
Scaling Ad Budget
The Meta budget that runs the winning ads at scale. Always separate from the retainer, always billed to your own ad account, and sized from your own test data rather than a number we invent.
Unlocks: Spend that is justified by measured cost per lead.
Proof first, price second
Most agencies charge a retainer to find out whether your offer works. We invert it. The microtests answer that question for the price of the ad spend, and the retainer only starts once you are holding ads that already won.
Retainer engagements are backed by our 90-day guarantee. You scale on measured results, never on a promise.
Pricing questions
How much does FounderScale cost?
The validation comes first and you only cover the ad spend, roughly $50 per test. Once the tests prove your offer, the growth retainer is a flat $2,900 per month. Your scaling ad budget is separate and billed to your own Meta account.
Do I pay a retainer before I see results?
No. You never pay the retainer to find out whether your offer works. We run the microtests first, hand you the winning ads and the data, and only then discuss the $2,900 per month engagement to scale them.
What does the $2,900 per month cover?
Full-funnel lead generation and Meta ad management: scaling the validated winners, running optimization sprints on CTA, audience, placement, pricing, landing pages, and retargeting, plus weekly reporting on cost per lead.
Is there a long contract?
The retainer is invoiced monthly. There is no long lock-in and no pre-buy bundle. It continues because the numbers justify it, which is the same standard we apply to every sprint we run.
How is ad spend handled?
Ad spend is always separate from the retainer and always billed to your own account. Budget roughly $50 per validation test. At scale, your monthly budget is set by your industry cost per lead and sized from your own test data.
Who qualifies for the retainer?
We take founders whose offer clears its industry bar in testing and whose data says we can scale it. If the tests say the offer is not ready, we say so instead of selling you a retainer.
