Pilot program
The Founding 50 is the first invitation-only group of readers, creators, and literary organizations using real Kyndlore features and sharing structured feedback.
Founding Readers, Founding Creators, and Founding Organizations each have their own application path.
The pilot is free to take part in and participants are not paid. Any future pricing will be shared before it applies.
Most participants spend a couple of hours a month across onboarding, weekly feature use, at least two meaningful in-product contributions, feedback, and optional sessions.
Applications are reviewed weekly and everyone usually hears back within fourteen days.
No. Selection considers workflow coverage, role, experience, availability, location, audience served, and the balance needed in the first room.
No. Selected members receive a ready-to-post social graphics kit and are encouraged to share their invitation, but public promotion is optional and honest criticism is protected.
